PRODUCTION OF LIGHT ALKENES FROM CO AND/OR CO_2 HYDROGENATION OVER K-Fe-MnO/SILICALITE-2 CATALYST

High selectivity to light alkenes can be achieved from CO and CO_2hydrogenation over K-Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalyst.The alkene selectivity isinsensitive to reaction temperature for CO hydrogenation,while apparentlyincreases for CO_2 hydrogenation with raising reaction temperature.An increasein alkene selectivity is observed for both CO and CO_2 hydrogenation with GHSVrising,While a decrease with the elevation of reaction pressure for both CO/H_2and CO_2/H_2 reaction.A two-step mechanism is suggested forCO_2 hydrogenation to form hydrocarbons,by which the variations incontributions of CO and HC as products of CO_2/H_2 reaction with change ofreaction temperature,GHSV and pressure are explained.Moreover,thecatalyst is favorable for selective production of light olefins,which can alsoconcern the slightly secondary reactions of light olefins to some extent.
