Ruthenium-Promoted Nickel Catalysts on Silica Gel

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Ru-promoted Ni-based catalyst was prepared as described above by incipient wetness impregnations of aqueous solutions of nickel nitrate and ruthenium(iii) chloride (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) on silica gel supports. The loading of nickel was 20 wt% and the molar ratios of Ru/Ni were 0.025 for catalyst samples. The preparation procedure was as described for the unpromoted catalysts synthesized with the impregnation technique. The catalyst was marked as 20Ni–0.5Ru/SiO2 (EG). Similarly, the Pt-promoted and Pd-promoted catalysts were synthesized with the same procedure, and the palladium(ii) nitrate (Pd(NO3)2, Sigma-Aldrich Co.) and diamminedinitritoplatinum(ii) solution (Pt(NH3)2(NO2)2, Sigma-Aldrich Co.) were used as noble metal precursor. The catalyst was marked as 20Ni–0.5Pd/SiO2 (EG) and 20Ni–0.5Pt/SiO2 (EG).
For comparison, the noble metal promoted catalysts obtained from non-pretreated silica support were also prepared with the same procedure and marked as 20Ni–0.5Ru/SiO2, 20Ni–0.5Pd/SiO2, and 20Ni–0.5Pt/SiO2.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
