Light olefin synthesis from carbon dioxide by hydrogenation over Fe3(CO)12 supported on ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst
Abstract
An Fe3(CO)12 catalyst supported on zeolite ZSM-5, prepared by a ‘multiple-reflux-impregnation’ method, exhibits high catalytic activity for hydrogenation of carbon dioxide and gives a high selectivity for light olefins, with a selectivity for ethene of >90 mol%.
