Ammonia Decomposition for Hydrogen Production on Се1 – хZrхО2 Based Ru Catalysts
摘要
Сommercial cerium-zirconium oxide supports (Ce0.5Zr0.5O2, Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 and Ce0.4Zr0.5Y0.05La0.05O2) were used to prepare Ru/CeZrOx catalysts by the sorption-hydrolytic method with ruthenium loading of ~2 wt %. The catalyst specific surface areas ranged within 80–91 m2/g. The XRD data indicate the formation of a substitutional solid solution. According to the HRTEM data, there are no ruthenium particles on the support surface in Ru/Се0.75Zr0.25О2 and Ru/Ce0.4Zr0.5Y0.05La0.05O2 samples. Most likely, the ruthenium particles are in a highly dispersed state. At 500°C and WHSV of 300 000
