Abstract
Fe2O3–K2O–CeO2 catalysts with various ratios of K2O to CeO2 were prepared by the wet-chemical method. Their phase compositions, reducibility, valence states of elements and catalytic activities for ethylbenzene dehydrogenation were studied. The results demonstrated that when the weight ratio of K2O: CeO2 was 1.40, the catalyst had highest ethylbenzene conversion and styrene selectivity, which were attributed to the optimization of active phase content and electron transfer ability, etc. Further, higher CeO2 content not only enhanced styrene selectivity, but also prolonged the life cycle of catalysts.
