Preparation of Iron/H-Modenite for Light Hydrocarbons Production

Abstract

Effect of two different solvents , such as CHX (cyclohexane) and THF (tetrahydrofuran) for Iron carbonyle and also no. of acidic sites in the substrate (modenite with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratio 11, 17, 61) were investigated. By using CHX as a solvent results in formation of smaller average particle sizes of Iron or Iron species, specially for the ratio of 17. Most percentage of light hydrocarbons (C1-C4) could be obtained for this catalyst. If the ratio changes (increasing or decreasing) then the percentage of higher hydrocarbons much as wax will be increased. For the mordenite with the ratio of 17 and CHX used as a solvent shorter time and less preparation process needs for activiaction
