Abstract

The catalytic pyrolysis of peat was investigated over several iron-containing zeolites of different structure (Beta, Y, Mordenite, ZSM-5) and SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratios at 410 °C in a batch mode. The overall activity of iron-containing catalysts was similar, being however significantly higher than activity of parent materials. Additionally, iron-modified zeolites afforded higher ethene and propene selectivity than corresponding proton forms.
