Support effect in a WGSR catalyzed by Na2CO3 activated [Ru(bpy)(CO)(2)Cl-2] catalyst
The support effects on the water gas shift reaction activity of [Ru(bpy)(CO)(2)Cl-2] based catalyst were investigated. A series of oxide supports, Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, Zeolites, ZrO2 and ZrSiO4, was studied. The catalytic activity was significantly improved when the catalyst was supported on weakly acidic alumina.
