چکیده انگلیسی
The Fe-Co bimetallic catalyst supported on CaCO3 was prepared by a wet impregnation method. The interactive effects among the key synthesis parameters such as drying time, calcination temperature, stirring speed, mass of CaCO3 support on the yield and quality properties of the catalyst were investigated using 24 Factorial design of experiment. Additionally, the catalyst obtained under the optimal conditions was used to prepare Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of acetylene gas in a tubular horizontal reactor. The quality of the prepared materials was examined for their morphology, microstructure, elemental composition, surface chemical properties, thermal stability, surface area, and mineralogical phase by HRSEM, HRTEM, EDS, TGA, FTIR, BET and XRD. The results revealed that maximum catalyst yield of 99.6% obtained at the drying time of 12â¯h, calcination temperature of 100â¯Â°C, stirring speed of 1000â¯rpm and mass of CaCO3 support of 10â¯g favoured the formation of MWCNT at 700â¯Â°C and 60â¯min reaction time. The results of statistical analysis demonstrated a direct relationship and synergetic effect between stirring speed and mass of support and the two factors exerted highest impact on the yield of catalyst than other parameters. Microscopy analysis revealed successful dispersion of Fe and Co particles onto CaCO3 support while XRD patterns confirmed the presence of highly active crystalline mixed oxide (CoFe2O4) as the dominant phase. The HRSEM/XRD analysis displayed the formation of tubular networks of graphitic carbon materials with few traces of by-products. The study established the absorption and not diffusion mechanism of Fe and Co onto CaCO3 in the reaction sequence produced CoFe2O4 during the wet impregnation process employed for catalyst preparation.
