Abstract

This study investigates the synthesis and performance of iron–polymer composite catalysts for the conversion of syngas to higher alcohols. A promoted Fe–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite catalyst, with a formulation denoted as 20Fe/2Al–2Mn–2K–2V/PVA, was synthesized via the organic matrix method. Its physicochemical properties and catalytic performance were evaluated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that heat treatment facilitated the formation of active phases (Fe3O4, χ-Fe5C2, and Fe7C3), which were stabilized within a carbon matrix featuring a polyconjugated bond network. The resulting composite exhibited high catalytic activity in CO hydrogenation following hydrogen pre-reduction. The reduced catalyst achieved 82% CO conversion at 320°C, and the content of higher alcohols in the hydrocarbon phase reached 27 wt % with a marked predominance of heavy alcohols (C8+/C4–C7 ratio ≈ 2.1).
