Abstract
A series of activated carbons prepared from almond shells by increasing burn-off in carbon dioxide have been used as supports for iron catalysts. The catalysts have been prepared from aqueous solution of iron nitrate and n-pentane solutions of iron pentacarbonyl. The results described here show that the porosity and surface chemistry of the carbon support have a clear effect on iron loading, iron dispersion, catalytic activity (CO hydrogenation) and olefins selectivity when the metal precursor is iron nitrate and little effect if it is iron pentacarbonyl.
