FeTi methanation catalyst

Description: The intermetallic compound FeTi was found to catalyze the reduction of CO and CO/sub 2/ to methane by hydrogen. CO reduction yielded traces of ethane as did CO/sub 2/, in addition, CO/sub 2/ reduction yielded small amounts of methanol. The appearance of CH/sub 4/ was linear with time for both CO and CO/sub 2/ and the rate of CO/sub 2/ reduction was faster than that observed for CO. The product distribution and rate data lend support to and will be discussed in terms of the newly proposed oxide … more

Novel interpretations of carbon oxide reduction reactions. II. Over metal oxides

Description: A mechanism is proposed for the formation of methanol and other oxygenated organic products from carbon monoxide and hydrogen over metal oxide catalysts. These products are formed via the associative adsorption of carbon monoxide on the oxygen of the metal oxide surface, followed by reduction with metal activated hydrogen. Carbon dioxide is dissociated to chemisorbed CO and O. This explains why over-reduction of methanol catalysts results in the formation of hydrocarbons rather than methanol. T… more

Novel interpretations of carbon oxide reduction reactions. I. Over metal oxides

Description: The mechanism of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and the role of the catalyst in that reaction have not yet been satisfactorily explained. It is proposed that the reaction proceeds via the chemisorption of carbon monoxide through the oxygen and that the relative strengths of the metal-oxygen bond will help predict catalyst behavior. It is also proposed that carbon dioxide is reduced in an analogous manner by chemisorption through its oxygens. Although the postulates presented constitute a great o… more
