Abstract

Ultra-fine, nano-crystalline six-line ferrihydrite (5Fe2O3-9H2O) and cubic zirconia (ZrÜ2)powders have been produced using the Rapid Thermal Decomposition ofprecursors in Solution (RTDS) technology. Nano-crystalline RTDS six-lineferrihydrite powder used as an in situ precursor forfirst-stage direct coal liquefaction catalysts increased the liquefiedproducts from Blind Canyon Seam coal by 22% absolute over thermal backgroundat 350°C. Initial sintering studies performed on nano-crystalline RTDS ZrO2 powder have also been presented and compared topredictions made from theories derived for micro-crystalline powders.
