摘要:
A method of producing stable ferrous nitrate solution by dissolving iron in nitric acid to form a ferrous nitrate solution and maintaining the solution at a first temperature for a first time period, whereby the Fe(II) content of the ferrous nitrate solution changes by less than about 2% over a second time period. A method of producing stable Fe(II)/Fe(III) nitrate solution comprising ferrous nitrate and ferric nitrate and having a desired ratio of ferrous iron to ferric iron, including obtaining a stable ferrous nitrate solution; dissolving iron in nitric acid to form a ferric nitrate solution; maintaining the ferric nitrate solution at a second temperature for a third time period; and combining amounts of stable ferrous nitrate solution and ferric nitrate solution to produce the stable Fe(II)/Fe(III) nitrate solution. A method of preparing an iron catalyst is also described.
摘要:
A method of producing a catalyst precursor comprising iron phases by co-feeding a ferrous nitrate solution and a precipitation agent into a ferric nitrate solution to produce a precipitation solution having a desired ferrous:ferric nitrate ratio and from which catalyst precursor precipitates; co-feeding a ferric nitrate solution and a precipitation agent into a ferrous nitrate solution to produce a precipitation solution having a desired ferrous:ferric nitrate ratio and from which catalyst precursor precipitates; or precipitating a ferrous precipitate from a ferrous nitrate solution by contacting the ferrous nitrate solution with a first precipitation agent; precipitating a ferric precipitate from ferric nitrate solution by contacting the ferric nitrate solution with a second precipitation agent and combining the ferrous and ferric precipitates to form the catalyst precursor, wherein the ratio of ferrous:ferric precipitates is a desired ratio.
