The catalysts are also promoted by Cu and Ca and the active sites are examined using Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR) with H2 and CO and Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD) with NH3 and CO2. The results are presented as a comparative study between Fe-Zn- and Fe-Zn-Zr-based catalysts. The results show that addition of Zr to Fe-Zn catalysts increases the availability and dispersion of the precursor to the active sites and promotion with Cu and Ca independently and synergistically enhances reduction of Fe-Zn-Zr-based catalysts. The presence of Ca promotes carburisation, while Cu inhibits carburisation. The impact of the Ca and Cu on the surface acidity/basicity is governed by the nature of the interaction between the phases in the catalysts. The extent of reduction reflects the availability and dispersion of the precursor to the active phase, while the extent of carburisation will impact on the selectivity of the catalysts. 3 Oil and Gas Science and Technology 70 ARTICULO James, Olusola O. 54926 Chowdhury, Biswajit 54927 Maity, Sudip 54928 189216 189216 0 0 0 0 257035 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-06 200061448 0 200061448 2026-03-06 00:19:26 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
