Catalyst mixture and method of synthesizing alkanes and olefins using the catalyst mixture

Abstract

Disclosed is a catalyst mixture that includes a mixture of a metal oxide catalyst and an iron-based catalyst. The metal oxide catalyst has a chemical formula of Fe1MnaMbOx, wherein M is Ce or La, a is 0.1 to 0.5, b is 0.1 to 0.3, and x is chemical stoichiometry. The iron-based catalyst includes 70 mol % to 97 mol % of porous FeO(OH)c, wherein 1<c<2, and 3 mol % to 30 mol % of an alkaline metal compound loaded onto the porous FeO(OH)c.
