説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide over K‐promoted FeCo bimetallic catalysts prepared by sequential oxalate decomposition and carburization of FeCo with CO was studied in a fixed‐bed reactor at 240 °C and 1.2 MPa. The initial CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> conversion was found to be dependent on K loading, whereas both unpromoted and K‐promoted FeCo catalysts (except 90Fe10Co3.0K) exhibited similar levels of CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> conversion after a few hours of time on stream. A decarburization study on freshly activated and used FeCo suggests that potassium increases the stability of iron carbides and graphitic carbon under a reducing atmosphere. Also, K addition tends to decrease the hydrogenation function of FeCo bimetallic catalysts and, thus, controls product selectivity. Under similar CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> conversions, potassium enhanced acetic acid formation while suppressing ethanol production, which indicates that a common intermediate might be responsible for the changes observed with C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> oxygenates.</jats:p>
