Abstract
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of light olefins plays a vital role in the production of major chemical building blocks from non-petroleum resources, having great academic and commercial importance. Herein, Na and S modulated FeMnOx catalysts were employed to systematically investigate the influence of additives, which not only enhanced the CO conversion but also facilitated the olefin formation and suppressed the undesired methane formation. Multiple characterizations confirmed that the existence of promoters would enhance the formation of active species of Fe5C2 at FTO conditions because of the promoted carbon insertion into the iron species from the intermediates dissociation. Combined the steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis with dynamic calculation, it confirmed that the promoters indeed had the ability to lower CO activation energy, as well as increase the carbon chain growth activity and the energy barrier to hydrogenation. This study provides a practical strategy for exploring the highly active and stable FTO catalysts.
