| Abstract: | The performance of the K-Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalyst for the production of light olefins via Co hydrogenation changes obviously with the addition of binders. The results of CO hydrogenation. TPR, Mossbauer spectra CI0TPF, CO/H2-TPSR and C2H4/H2-TPSR are employed to investigate the effects of various binders on the physical-chemical states and catalytic behaviors of K-Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalyst to produce light olefins via syngas, TiO2 can promote the reduction of Fe and strengthen the adsorption of CO resulting in raising olefin selectivity. Other binders such as Al2O3, SiO2, MgO, once added into the catalyst, may cause formation of inorganic salts between FeO and Binders leading to a decrease of Fe reduction and a loss of olefin selectivity for CO hydrogenation. Especially, For K-Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalyst with Al2O3 binder directly, the strong secondary reactions of ethylene during CO hydrogenation cause a very poor light olefin selectivity, which will be improved greatly by modifying Al2O3. |
