摘要
Ru/Al2O3 catalyst prepared from Cl-free Ru carbonyl was much more active for ammonia synthesis under 1.01 bar of N2 + 3H2 than that prepared from RuCl3. The high activity was related to the high dispersion and lack of Cl. Alkali metal ion (oxide or hydroxide of Cs+, Rb+, and K+) was an effective promoter for the Cl-free Ru catalyst, suggesting that the alkali acted as an electronic promoter for Ru. The synthesis rate was maximum when the Cs/Ru ratio was as high as 10. Alkali had a strong interaction with the A1203 surface and a weak interaction with the Ru surface. © 1992.
