Abstract

In situ Mössbauer study of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation on potassium-promoted iron oxide containing different contents of cerium oxide has been investigated. The results show that the addition of cerium to the FeK systems decreased the hyperfine magnetic fields for Fe 3+ ions, due to the near neighbor and next near neighbor of Fe 3+ ions to be partially occupied by cerium ions. In addition, the presence of cerium enhanced the stability of the FeK phase and reducibility of Fe oxide to Fe 3O 4 at the reaction condition.
