[P12] Gas-phase hydrogenation of CO2 over supported iron-based catalysts.
Keywords:Supported iron catalyst, carbon dioxide hydrogenation, methane formation
Gas-phase hydrogenation of CO2 to form lower hydrocarbons was performed over supported iron-based catalysts using a fixed-bed flow reactor. Effects of adding a second element (alkaline metal and transition metal) to the supported iron catalyst on catalytic activity and selectivity were investigated. At 300 ℃ an alumina-supported iron catalyst afforded CO as the main product with a small amount of CH4. The addition of alkaline metal to the iron catalyst improved the catalytic activity, but the formation of CH4 was suppressed.
