Abstract

Different catalysts based on ruthenium impregnated on hydrotalcites (Ru/CoxMgyAl2-HT) were prepared by wet impregnation from aqueous nitrosyl nitrate solutions and activated under air at 600°C for 4 h. The reactivity of the catalysts was evaluated in the oxidation of carbon black (CB). The results showed that the best catalyst decreased the temperature at which the rate of carbon black oxidation is the highest by about 150°C. This good reactivity was attributed to the formation of easily reducible ruthenium and cobalt oxide species at the surface of the support. The addition of ruthenium made the reduction of surface and bulk cobalt oxides possible at lower temperatures.
