Iron modified mesoporous carbon and silica catalysts for methanol decomposition

Tsoncheva T, Paneva D, Mitov I, Huwe H, Froba M, Dimitrov M, Minchev C

Iron modified silica and carbon mesoporous materials with similar textural characteristics are compared in methanol decomposition to H-2, CO and CH4. The influence of the support on the phase composition and reductive properties of the catalysts is studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy and TPR with hydrogen.
