MAGNETO-CHEMICAL CHARACTER STUDIES OF NOVEL FE CATALYSTS FOR COAL LIQUEFACTION

The primary objectives of research during this period were: (1) To prepare iron-cobalt-molybdenum trioxide catalysts using co-precipitation method; (2) To examine the surface character of these catalysts with CO and Syngas as probe molecules by FTIR spectroscopy; and (3) To examine the magnetic properties of these catalysts using NMR and Magnetization techniques
