Sy. Taskina et al., OXIDATION OF METHANE, BUTANE AND CARBON-MONOXIDE ON AL-FE OXIDE CATALYSTS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 49(2), 1993, pp. 235-240
The activity of the catalysts obtained by supporting Fe3+ oxalate comp
lexes on alpha- and gamma-Al2O3 in oxidation of CH4, C4H10 and CO has
been studied. The composition of the impregnating solution and the tem
perature of catalyst thermal treatment were varied. The most active ca
talysts were prepared by impregnation of gamma-Al2O3 with (NH4)3Fe(C2
O4)3! solutions at pH=2.0-3.5. Their activity appeals to be close to t
hat of Al-Mg-Cr catalysts in butane oxidation and even exceeds this in
CO oxidation.
