Ly. Xu et al., A NEW SUPPORTED FE-MNO CATALYST FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT OLEFINS FROM SYNGAS .1. EFFECT OF SUPPORT ON THE CATALYTIC PERFORMANCE, Catalysis letters, 24(1-2), 1994, pp. 177-185
CO-TPD and H-2-TPD and CO/H-2-TPSR were used to study the effect of th
e support on the performance of Fe-MnO catalysts in CO hydrogenation f
or the production of light olefins. It was found that a Fe-MnO/MgO cat
alyst (based on a basic support) is capable of strongly adsorbing CO a
nd H-2 favorable for the production of light olefins and CO conversion
. A Fe-MnO/Al2O3 catalyst (based on an acidic support) only showed str
ong adsorption of H-2, but weaker adsorption of CO, and so, it was a p
oor catalyst for light olefins from syngas.
