Selective production of alpha olefins from synthesis gas over ZnO supported Pd-Fe bimetallics
Olefins are basic raw materials for a wide variety of commercial processes within the chemical industry. A synthesis-gas-based route to low molecular weight ..cap alpha..-olefins would provide the chemical industry with an alternative route to raw materials in the advent of future petroleum shortages or price increases. The catalytic production of ..cap alpha..-olefins from synthesis gas has been the subject of many investigations over the past 50 years. It has been established that, in some systems, olefin selectivity can be enhanced through the addition of various promoters such as K, Mn, Ti, or Zn. Olefin selectivity can also be dependent on process parameters such as temperature, pressure, conversion levels, or feed compositions. Recent reports in the literature indicate that supported Fe-containing bimetallics may also be selective for the production of olefins from synthesis gas. This study reports the use of Pd-FE bimetallics supported on ZnO for the selective production of olefins from synthesis gas.
