ENHANCEMENT OF THE METHANOL FORMATION FROM CO AND H2 OVER SUPPORTED RUTHENIUM CATALYSTS BY H2-H2O TREATMENT

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.553

Supported ruthenium catalysts, which was treated by H2-H2O mixture at elevated temperatures, could produce methanol from CO and H2 with 50 percent selectivity, and the nature of the active sites for methanol formation on these catalysts was discussed.
