Promoters K, Ba and Sm increased the activity of Ru/AC catalysts for ammonia synthesis significantly, and particularly, potassium exhibited the best promotion on the activity because of the strong electronic donation to metallic Ru. Much higher activity can be obtained for Ru/AC catalyst with binary or triple promoters. The activity of Ru/AC catalyst is dependent on the adsorption of hydrogen and nitrogen. The high activity of catalyst could be ascribed to strong dissociation of nitrogen on the catalyst surface. Strong adsorption of hydrogen would inhibit the adsorption of nitrogen, resulted in decrease of the catalytic activity. Ru/AC catalyst promoted by Sm2O3 shows the best dispersion of metallic Ru, since the partly reduced SmOx on the surface modifies the morphology of active sites and favors the dispersion of metallic Ru. The activity of Ru/AC catalysts is in accordance to the corresponding amount of nitrogen chemisorption and the desorption activation energy of nitrogen. The desorption activation energy for nitrogen decreases in the order of Ru>Ru-Ba>Ru-Sm>Ru-Ba-Sm>Ru-K>Ru-K-Sm>Ru-K-Ba>Ru-K-Ba-Sm, just opposite to the order of catalytic activity, suggesting that the ammonia synthesis over Ru-based catalyst is controlled by the step of dissociation of nitrogen.展开更多

Controlling the regioselectivities of linear esters(L) and branched esters(B) is a challenging project for researchers working in this reaction. Although most of the attention has been paid to control the regioselectivity through ligand design in homogeneous catalytic systems, study in the area is still limited. Herein, Ru-clusters/CeO2 is employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydromethoxycarbonylation of styrene without any additives. After optimization of the reaction conditions, the conversion of styrene is > 99% with 83% and 12% regioselectivity of linear and branched ester, respectively. By using different supports(CeO2(nanoparticle), CeO2-rod, and CeO2-cube), three catalysts including Ru-clusters/CeO2, Ru/CeO2-rod, and Ru/CeO2-cube are prepared and applied in the reaction. Structural characterizations demonstrate that the L/B ratio is related to the Ru size of supported Ru catalysts. Further Raman characterization and NH3-TPD demonstrate that the metal-support interaction and the concentration of oxygen vacancy of the catalyst have a great influence on the Ru size. The mechanism and kinetic analysis for this reaction are also investigated in this work.展开更多

Hydroxide was chosen to mask aluminum for the determination of 0.01—0.1 mol/L of fluoride. The simulation indicated that the permissible aluminum masked at a certain p H value was limited and hardly related to F-concentration and boric acid. It is better to control p H value below 11.5 and the aluminum concentration within 0.025 mol/L to minimize the interference of hydroxide to the fluoride ISE. The decomposition conditions of boron trifluoride by aluminum chloride were investigated. It is found that the F-detection ratio will approach 1.0 if the Al/F molar ratio is 0.3—0.7 and aluminum concentration is no more than 0.02 mol/L when heated at 80 ℃ for 10 min. In one word, hydroxide is quite fit to mask aluminum for samples which contain high content of fluoride and aluminum and the BF3 content can be successfully determined by this method.展开更多

The final refinement gave R = 0.0508 and wR = 0.1111 for 6987 observed reflections (I > 2s(I)). Three Ru(III) atoms bridged by m3-oxo donor form an approximately isosceles triangle. The complex shows three quasireversible one- electron processes at E1/2 = 1.22 +0.03 and 1.20 V vs. Ag/AgCl.展开更多
