These catalysts were characterized by hydrogen chemisorption. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed reduction. The type of support had pronounced effects on the activity and selectivity of cobalt. The results indicated that the cobalt oxide supported on alumina is easier to reduce than that on zeolite X. This is essentially due to strong acidity of the HX and the high dispersion of cobalt. This would result in less active sites for the chemisorption of hydrogen, and would result in a decrease in activity and an increase in the selectivity to alkenes. Significant amounts of 2-butene are observed on Co/NaX catalyst, indicating that the predominant secondary reaction is isomerization rather than oligomerization and cracking reactions. The presence of water in the zeolite may cause a change in the catalytic behavior of the Co/NaX catalyst. The kinetic order of the reaction for Co/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> is negative to the carbon monoxide partial pressure and positive to the hydrogen partial pressure. The reaction rates for the Co/NaX catalysts are independent of the carbon monoxide partial pressure and become more strongly dependent on the hydrogen partial pressure with positive order. The different kinetics seem to be due to different reaction mechanisms operative on the cobalt surface with different degrees of reduction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8091,"journal":{"name":"Applied Catalysis","volume":"77 1","pages":"Pages 21-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0166-9834(91)80020-W","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88014509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rare-earth (RE) oxides are more effective than thoria, of which Eu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> shows a unique promoting effect. The results of catalyst characterization obtained from the X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR),carbon monoxide temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), carbon dioxide TPD and temperature-programmed surface reaction (TPSR) measurements demonstrate that the presence of these promoters greatly changes both the bulk structure and surface states of the iron catalyst, especially when promoted with europium. It is found that they increase the dispersion of the iron particles, inhibiting their growth and further reduction due to the formation of a mixed Fe-RE(Th) oxide interface, encourage the adsorption and dissociation of carbon monoxide and decrease the reactivity of the surface carbon species towards hydrogen due to the electronic donation properties brought about by their basicities. These results explain the observed variation in the catalytic performances.
