摘要
In order to investigate the reasons the activation of a Ru/Al2O3 catalyst by heating in a H-2/N-2 mixed gas improves the CO preferential oxidation (PROX) activity, the oxidation state of the Ru on the catalyst surface was studied by using ESCA. As the ratio of Ru(0) to total Ru on the surface was increased, the temperature window of the Ru catalyst, where CO was reduced to below 10 ppm, was expanded to the lower temperature side. The activity of CO oxidation by O-2 of the Ru catalyst at lower temperatures was improved by increasing the ratio of Ru(0). However, the selectivity for CO oxidation hardly varied with the change in the surface Ru(0) ratio at these low temperatures. It is considered that O-2 activation on Ru(0) plays an essential role in CO PROX activity on the Ru catalyst at low temperatures.
