Abstract
Fe/SiO2 and Rh–Fe/SiO2 catalysts with increasing Fe/Rh ratio have been prepared and characterized by TEM, XRD, oxygen adsorption and Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was confirmed that Fe/SiO2 catalysts cannot be reduced under hydrogen flow, to more than 50 % whatever the temperature in the 200–500 °C range and shown that the presence of even a small amount of Rh (Fe/Rh ≤2,000) promoted the reduction of iron up to 85–95 %. This promoting effect also took place with a Fe/SiO2 + Rh/SiO2 physical mixture (Fe/Rh ≤2,000). Therefore, the occurrence of a hydrogen spillover effect may be involved in the observed process.
