R. Bontchev et al., NITRIC-OXIDE DECOMPOSITION OVER BARUXBI1-XO3 (X=0.33, 0.50, 0.67, 1.00) PEROVSKITE-LIKE CATALYSTS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 63(1), 1998, pp. 121-127
The catalytic activity of Ba2Ru0.67Bi1.33O6, Ba2RuBiO6, Ba3Ru2BiO9 and
BaRuO3 towards NO-decomposition prior to and after treatment with NH3
has been studied. About 100% degree of conversion has been achieved a
t 400 degrees C for samples with the highest percentage of hexagonal s
tacking in their crystal structures. It has been shown that the active
sites are units of two or three face-sharing [RuO6] octahedra in whic
h a strong Ru-Ru interaction takes place via the common faces.
