“…Zinc helps to increase the activity of these catalysts in the Fischer–Tropsch process [ 24 , 25 ], increases the adsorption of carbon dioxide [ 24 , 26 , 27 ] and hydrogen [ 27 , 28 ], and increases the activity in the reverse water shift reaction [ 29 , 30 ]. It has been shown that zinc increases the dispersity of iron particles and acts as a structural promoter [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. Recently, it has been suggested that the addition of zinc is not only a structural promoter, but also increases the stability of the iron-containing catalyst owing to electron density transfer from zinc to iron, promotes the formation of iron carbides, and suppresses the formation of magnetite Fe 3 O 4 during the operation of the iron–zinc coprecipitated catalyst [ 21 ].…”
