摘要
An iron catalyst supported on SBA-15 was prepared and activated in H-2 stream and in synthesis gas (H-2:CO = 2:1) stream, in order to be used in the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. The different activation treatments led to different Fe species in fresh catalysts: alpha-Fe, Fe3O4 and Fe2+ diffused into the SBA-15 walls in H2-Fe/SBA-15 and chi-Fe5C2, Fe3O4 and Fe2+ in H2:CO-Fe/SBA-15. These initial differences in the "bulk" structure of the solids disappear when both catalysts are "working". However, a higher production of total hydrocarbons, higher CO conversion and more CH4 and light gases were obtained for H2-Fe/SBA-15 over 6 days. Besides, a higher selectivity toward light olefins was obtained with H2-Fe/SBA-15 during the first 24 h on reaction stream, but this selectivity decreases with the reaction time. These results are explained considering that the iron carbides produced from alpha-Fe are more active and/or have smaller sizes than that obtained from alpha-Fe2O3. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
