In this report, a simple method was employed to synthesize Fe/ZSM-5 for propane (C3H8) dehydrogenation. Fe of varying loading 1.5 - 3 wt% was with ZSM-5. Catalyst physicochemical properties were analyzed using XRD and FTIR. The XRD and FTIR characterization showed that the modified catalysts retained their crystallinity after metal impregnation. The performance tests for propane dehydrogenation to produce olefins over synthesized catalysts were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor at 550℃ and atmospheric pressure. The introduction of Fe into the ZSM-5 improved the ethylene (C2H4) selectivity.
