Abstract:
La−Ba-K−Ru/AC catalysts for ammonia synthesis were prepared by co-impregnation method using graphited active-carbon as the support and water-soluble chloride-free Ru complex as the precursor. The results demonstrate that the La promoted Ba-K−Ru/AC catalysts exhibit good catalytic activity, high thermal stability and strong resistance against methanation. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and CO (carbon monoxide) chemisorption analysis indicate that the Ru particles had a relatively uniform size of 3∼5 nm and the particle surface might be partially covered by LaOx and BaOx. H2-TPR (Temperature Programmed Reduction) results suggest that strong interactions might exist between the Ru particles and the promoters (La and Ba). The N2-TPD (Temperature Programmed Desorption) and H2-TPD measurements show that the presence of small amount of La enhances the adsorption of N2 and inhibits the adsorption of H2, resulting in higher TOF values and better catalytic performances. Moreover, no obvious agglomeration of Ru particles was observed on the catalysts after heat resistance. The superior catalytic stability of La−Ba-K−Ru/AC is associated with its strong resistance against methanation of active-carbon due to highly coverage of ruthenium surface and strong inhibition of hydrogen by promoters. © 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
