The incorporation of ZnO into Fe2O3-K2O system increases its activity, enhances its moisture stability and mechanical strength. The origin of the enhancement in activity and moisture stability is discussed in the light of experimental results obtained by BET, XRD, XPS. It was found that the addition of ZnO to Fe2O3-K2O system strengthens the interaction between Fe2O3 and K2O, reduces the formation temperature of KFe11O17 at least by 50 degreesC, and promotes the transformation of Fe3+ to Fe2+ further.
