ABSTRACT:

Alpha olefins from synthesis gas, to characterize the matrix effect especially by kinetic methods, and to relate the findings to physical and chemical measurements on the catalyst. The composition of iron-manganese catalysts was changed to a large extent, e.g. with regard to the contents of iron and manganese from 100 Fe to 279 Mn up to 100 Fe to 1073 Mn.  Medium contents of manganese proved advantageous with regard to yield of organic products and formation of olefins. Evaluation parameters were introduced which allow a quantitative registration of selectivity characteristics. The evaluation parameters which cover the primary selectivity typical of matrix catalysts are of importance for this study.  In addition to the synthesis tests, the catalysts were characterized by gas adsorption measurements and Hg-porosimetry as well as SEM pictures and X-ray microanalysis.
