Popis: The surface composition of a model catalyst for ammonia synthesis based on iron promoted with aluminum and potassium oxides was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface was studied in oxidized, passivated, and reduced states. The redistribution of components on the surface is studied in the course of reduction in hydrogen and overheating at 700°C. It is shown that a 4–6-mn thick surface layer is enriched with promoters (K and Al) and impurities (Si), while the concentration of iron is low. Promotion by potassium and aluminum oxides makes the catalyst more resistant to overheating.
