Abstract
Ruthenium catalysts have been prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of ruthenium(III) nitrosylnitrate, Ru(NO)(NO3)3 onto high surface area titanate supports obtained by hydrothermal treatment of TiO2 P25 in concentrated alkaline solutions. These Ru-containing catalysts were evaluated in the catalytic wet air oxidation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBZ), a model compound representative of phenolic pollutants present in olive mills wastewaters, at 413 K and 50 bars of air. Two different titanates morphologies were tested as supports for this reaction: hydrogenotitanate nanotubes (HNT) obtained with concentrated NaOH and hydrogenotitanate nanowires (HNW) formed in the presence of highly concentrated KOH solution. The HNT and HNW supports and their corresponding supported Ru catalysts were characterized by means of N2 adsorption–desorption, XRD, UV and TEM analyses. Results showed that the use of high surface area titanate supports led to catalysts much more active than similar Ru catalysts supported on conventional TiO2 supports.
Introduction Metal and oxide films on the basis of ruthenium are of great importance in different spheres of electronics, radio, and electrical engineering, chemical industry as well as jeweler's art. Ruthenium
Introduction The search for effective anticancer compounds based on metal centers has been developed in the last few decades of the twentieth century. Ruthenium complexes are potential alternative drugs to cisplatin, some of
Abstract
When annealing the evaporation residue formed by evaporating a solution containing ruthenium, phosphates and nitrates, ruthenium volatilizes. The amount of volatilized ruthenium (both106Ru traces and milligram amuonts of Ru) depends on the solution composition before evaporation and on the temperature and time of annealing. Volatility occurs at a temperature as low as 300°C. We suppose that the volatility is due to thermal decomposition of the ruthenium compounds with phosphates. The released atoms of ruthenium are oxidized by the decomposition products of the nitrate. The formation of complex compounds of ruthenium with phosphates during the evaporation of the solution follows from the data of elemental and spectral analysis and ion exchange chromatography.
into the complexes of rhodium and ruthenium marked the revolution in the field of asymmetric catalysis [ 10 – 20 ]. Here we report on the effect of fine structural variations of the ruthenium chiral complexes in the asymmetric hydrogenation of
prepared ruthenium catalysts, with the intent of developing a simple and additive-free catalytic system. Several ruthenium catalysts supported on commercial available supports (TiO 2 , SiO 2 , γ-Al 2 O 3 , NaY and active carbon) were prepared and examined
Abstract
Volatilization behaviour of ruthenium from boiling solutions has been studied using106Ru-labeled (Na2 RuNO(NO2)4OH). The volatilization rate of ruthenium was measured at a constant concentration of nitrate in various acidities using a mixture of nitric acid and sodium nitrate. Volatilization of ruthenium was found to accur after a certain induction period depending on the acidity. However, the volatilization rate was constant at acidities greater than 3M in the presence of 10M nitrate. Ruthenium volatilized from a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, but the volatilization rate and induction period were independent of the mixing ratio of both acids.
