Carbonyl-derived catalysts (CDCs), catalysts prepared by the decomposition of metal carbonyls on catalyst carriers, have attracted recent attention because of their unusually high dispersions (fractions exposed to the surface) and high extents of reduction. While conventional preparation methods may lead to metal contamination with S or Cl or may result in support decoration, it may be possible to produce ''clean'' particles by decomposing carbonyl complexes on carefully dehydroxylated supports. Thus, effects of metal loading, and crystallite size may be investigated in the absence of these contaminants using this class of catalysts. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of metal loading and support dehydroxylation temperature on the physical and chemical properties of Fe CDCs.
