Progress is reported on task 2: soot control for molten carbonate fuel cell anode. Samples of both new and used nickel chrome anode material were tested in our flow reactor for catalytic activity and carbon deposition. The equilibrium carbon formation boundary was calculated for filamentary carbon formed on nickel. Comparison of experimental results with this curve shows that coke forms on Ni(Cr) anode material for compositions which would be carbon free at equilibrium. Initial conditions and carbon deposition results are presented for all runs done on stainless steel, nickel and Ni(Cr) anode material. (WHK)
