Abstract:

The effect of additives TiO2 on the formation of reactive phase Fe-K spinel and on the catalytic activity was investigated. The properties of catalyst were characterized by XRD, TPR, XPS, BET and SEM. The SEM and XRD results showed that adding moderate TiO2 can significantly improve the formation of catalytic reactive phase K2Fe22O34, with decreasing the particle size of CeO2 and improving its dispersion in catalyst. Furthermore, the XPS and TPR results showed that doping of TiO2 can reduce the reduction temperature of CeO2 and active phase K2Fe22O34, which increases lattice oxygen defects and acid-base sites, improving the activity of the catalyst for ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction.

Key words: Ethylbenzene, Catalytic dehydrogenation, Styrene, Fe-K spinel, TiO2
