Ruthenium(III) chloride and ruthenium(IV) oxide have been reduced to u
nsupported ruthenium catalyst powders. The texture and properties of t
he catalysts were studied by SEM, XRD and BET techniques. The activity
of the catalysts was tested in the liquid phase hydrogenation of benz
ene to cyclohexene and cyclohexane.
