Abstract

This paper is presented to illustrate the utility of Fe-57 Mössbauer spectroscopy in the physical and chemical characterization of metallic catalysts as a function of preparation and subsequent treatment. The particular example chosen for investigation is the Ru-Fe bimetallic salt system which has significant potential as an active Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. The interpretation of the resulting Mössbauer parameters provides information on the chemical state of the metals as a function of treatment and initial salt properties and allows certain deductions to be made about particle size and solid state properties.
