Abstract
An investigation has been made of the interaction of carbon and hydrog en on Ru-V/Al2O3 catalysts. A combination of physicochemical and quant um-chemical methods has been used to study the relationship between th e composition of the surface of Ru-V/Al2O3 catalysts and their adsorpt ion and catalytic properties. It was established that ruthenium and va nadium interact on the surface of the support with the formation of cl uster structures. The activity and selectivity of the catalysts in Fis cher-Tropsch synthesis depend on the nature of the surface clusters. Q uantum-chemical methods have been used to examine the mechanism of act ivation of CO and hydrogen. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
