HUMIC ACID-Fe AS CATALYST FOR COAL LIQUEFACTION
Abstract
Research to increase the activity of iron based catalysts focuses on decreasing the particle size, increasing catalyst dispersion. The chelate compound of iron with humic acid (HA), which macromolecules radii can range from 6 to 50 nm, is truly in a highly dispersed state. Fe2+ or Fe3+ were dispersed finely into the HA matrix through the ion exchange with –COOH groups or chelate with carbonyl group in humic acid macromolecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectrophotometer were used to characterize iron species before or after chelating with humic acid. The results indicate that there exist α-FeOOH, ferrihydrite and amorphous iron in HA-Fe. Most of the work has been conducted on a laboratory scale, and the results show that HA-Fe catalyst was approved for its excellent catalytic activity in coal liquefaction, and the conversion and oil yield of coal have been greatly improved.
