The synthesis of hydrocarbons from hydrogenation of carbon dioxide bas been studied on a series of coprecipitated iron-manganese catalysts. Kinetic measurements, X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reaction of adsorbed species were used for activity tests and catalyst characterizations. The results showed that the yields of low-carbon oletins decrease, whereas the amount of methane increases with increasing manganese content in catalysts. The conversion to hydrocarbons is suppressed by the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction equilibrium. Mossbauer spectra and XRD patterns of catalysts after reaction indicate that catalysts are severely oxidized; it is speculated that the olefin producing surface structure in CO hydrogenation may be destroyed by this oxidation. A pulse-reactor study of the Boudouard reaction showed that manganese has the effect ofsuppressing CO dissociation and thus decreasing carbon content on catalysts. For CO 2 hydrogenation, the affinityto carbon on catalysts is important; therefore manganese is not a good promoter. Among all catalysts tested, pure iron has the best selectivity to olefinicand long-chain hydrocarbons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
