The catalytic behaviour of series of Ru/Al2O3 catalysts promoted with vario
us levels of Au were investigated in the GO-hydrogenation reaction and have
been the subject of numerous investigations. Catalytic activities and prod
uct selectivities reveal that no significant ensembles or electronic effect
is produced by the addition of Au to Ru/Al2O3, system. it is suggested tha
t a significant fraction of added Au species interacts with the support rat
her with the Ru metal.
