Process of preparing the catalyst was based on the equation: 3FeCO₃+HNO₃+4H₂O=3Fe(OH)₃+NO+3CO₂. Its activity was still great at a temperature as low as 390° working with a gas composed of CO₂, 7.5, CO, 17, and H₂, 55%. The hypothesis was substantiated that only metal that possesses the least alkaline properties, and the sulfide of which is readily hydrolyzed by water vapor, can be a permanent activator in presence of S gases. Thus, it was possible to reactivate the Fe catalyst with Cr or Al but not with Co or Mn.
