Abstract

Boron-doping commercial magnesia-supported ruthenium catalysts for ammonia synthesis were conveniently prepared in a similar process of the preparation of supported amorphous alloy Ru-B catalysts using RUCl3· nH2O as precursor. Activity evaluation results showed that the cesium-promoted catalyst exhibited significantly high activity for ammonia synthesis at atmospheric pressure, whereas the non-promoted catalyst had almost no activity in the same conditions. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS and TEM. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
