Devolpment and Testing of Novel Structured Catalysts

FeCrAlloy rods were thermally pre-treated and dip-coated to generate a layer thickness of γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst_. This was studied using a range of analytical techniques, and as a catalyst in a dehydrogenation of Methylcyclohexane reaction.

Results indicted a well-adhered coating of γ-Al₂O₃, offering moderate conversion rates and significantly improved heat transfer.
