摘要
it was found by XPS and XRD that cerium existed as CeO_2 in iron based catalyst for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. and CeO_2 can be partly reduced under the reaction conditions to create Ce(3+)/Ce(4+) redox couples in the catalyst. The experiment of XPS and TPR-GC showed that there is an interaction between Ce oxide and Fe oxide, resulting in the shift of negative charge from iron to cerium and in the difficulty of Fe_2O_3 reduction to Fe_3O_4 in Fe_2O_3-CeO_2 system.The role of cerium promoter in the catalytic process was supposed to enhance the electron transfer among neighboring Fe active-sites of the catalyst and to improve the redox process of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation in the presence of steam by transferring oxygen from water to the active phase of the catalyst.
