The effect of silica support texture and anion of impregnating solution on Ru dispersion and on RuCu interaction

Three sets of Ru and Ru-Cu catalysts were prepared by different methods and were placed on different types of silica supports which have been used by various groups of experimentalists. The initial reduction temperature (773 and 723/sup 0/K) and the volume of solution/g of support were judged not to...

Zusammenfassung:Three sets of Ru and Ru-Cu catalysts were prepared by different methods and were placed on different types of silica supports which have been used by various groups of experimentalists. The initial reduction temperature (773 and 723/sup 0/K) and the volume of solution/g of support were judged not to be critical preparation variables in this study - the ethane hydrogenation activity. Little evidence exists for Ru-Cu interaction in the H/sub 2/ chemisorption. The anions of the impregnating solution and the texture do not directly affect Cu-Ru interactions, but may do so indirectly by their effect on the dispersion of Ru. Apparently nitrate complexes of Ru undergo stronger ion exchange on silica than do chloride containing complexes. The resulting better dispersion of Ru with its accompanying segregation decreases the likelihood of Ru-Cu interaction. This interpretation is undergoing further study. 2 figures, 1 table.
