Abstract

The introduction of Na2MoO4, NaCl and NaNO3 in amounts containing 0.4 wt.% Na into iron-molybdenum catalysts with a Mo/Fe atom ratio of 2.5 and 1.5 decreases the activity of the initial samples by a factor of 10 to 12. The selectivity remains unchanged. The introduction of sodium into supported catalysts leads also to a decrease in selectivity. An explanation of the observed effects is proposed.

Abstract

Введение солей Na2MoO4, NaCl и NaNO3 в железомолибденовые катализаторы с атомным отношением Mo/Fe=2,5 и 1,5 в количестве до 0,4% вес Na приводит к уменьшению активности исходных образцов в 10–12 раз. Избирательность при этом не изменяется. В случае нанесенных катализаторов введение натрия приводит и к уменьшению избирательности. Предложено объяснение наблюдаемым явлениям.
