Zusammenfassung: | Fe-based catalysts for the production of light olefins via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis were modified by adding a Zn promoter using both microwave-hydrothermal and impregnation methods. The physicochemical properties of the resulting catalysts were determined by scanning electron microscopy, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, X-ray diffraction, H2 temperature-programed reduction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the addition of a Zn promoter improves both the light olefin selectivity over the catalyst and the catalyst stability. The catalysts prepared via the impregnation method, which contain greater quantities of surface ZnO, exhibit severe carbon deposition following activity trials. In contrast, those materials synthesized using the microwave-hydrothermal approach show improved dispersion of Zn and Fe phases and decreased carbon deposition, and so exhibit better CO conversion and stability.
Fe-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts for light olefins synthesis were modified by adding a Zn promoter using either microwave-hydrothermal or impregnation methods. The catalysts prepared by the microwave-hydrothermal technique exhibited high catalytic activity and good stability with significantly lower carbon deposition. |
