Abstract:

In the study of Ru catalyst, various supports have been used, e. g. MgO, Al₂O₃, MgAl₂O₄, zeolite active carbon^[1-3]. The carbon covered alumina offers the advantages of the electron withdrawing capacity of carbon and the stability of alumina and at the same tame eliminates the disadvantages of the low strength of carbon and the acidity of alumina. In the present work., we describe the synthesis and reactivity of ruthenium supported on various Al₂O₃ for the production of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen.
