Ruthenium on Alumina Catalyst FAQs
Q1: What is Ruthenium on Alumina Catalyst?
Ruthenium on Alumina Catalyst is a catalyst where ruthenium (Ru), a precious metal, is dispersed on an alumina (Al₂O₃) support. It is commonly used in hydrogenation, oxidation, and other catalytic processes due to ruthenium’s excellent catalytic activity.
Q2: What is the typical ruthenium loading on alumina?
Ruthenium loading typically ranges from 0.1 wt% to 5 wt% depending on the specific application and reaction conditions.
Lower loadings (0.1-1%) are commonly used for hydrogenation reactions.
Higher loadings (1-5%) are used for more demanding chemical processes.
Q3: What is the surface area of Ruthenium on Alumina Catalyst?
The surface area depends on the alumina support, with typical values ranging from 100–250 m²/g (BET surface area).
High-surface-area alumina allows for better dispersion of ruthenium, enhancing catalyst efficiency.
