Moessbauer study of the effect of potassium on iron oxide catalysts

Description

One kind of catalyst used for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was investigated by 57Fe Moessbauer spectroscopy. The results show that the area ratio SB/SA of two Moessbauer subspectra of Fe3-vO4 produced after catalytic reaction depends on the amounts of potassium added to the catalysts. A tentative conclusion is that the effect of potassium in iron oxide catalysts could be related to the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+. (orig.)
