Abstract

Highly monodispersed ruthenium nanoparticles were prepared via wet impregnation technique using RuCl3 · nH2O as a precursor. Ru nanoparticles were supported on Al2O3 to synthesize Ru nanocatalyst. The nanocatalyst was characterized by various techniques like XRD, SEM, TEM and BET analysis. The catalyst was used for hydrogenation of phenol under mild condition. The activity of the catalyst was checked by varying different parameters such as reaction temperature, time, H2 partial pressure, metal loading and catalyst amount. The catalyst was recovered from product and reused up to four times without significant loss in its catalytic activity. After a reaction time of 1 h, Ru/Al2O3 nanocatalyst showed high reactivity (82% conversion) and selectivity to cyclohexanone (67%) at 80°C and 20 bar hydrogen pressure.
