Description

The Fe species present in Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by ionic exchange in aqueous solution or in the solid state are investigated. The samples were characterized by XRD, EPR, Moessbauer Spectroscopy (MOS-S) and chemical analysis. XRD showed that the peak intensity decreased with the increase in Fe content in the samples. EPR and MOS-S showed that the Fe atoms in all the activated samples appear as Fe+3, independently of the method used in the catalyst preparation. The MOS-S data also showed that Fe/ZSM-5, prepared by ion exchange in the solid state presented lower hematite content and more Fe species in charge-compensation sites, the responsible for the catalytic activity, as confirmed by the behavior in the propane oxidation
