Conversion of carbon monoxide on membrane catalysts of palladium alloys. I. Reaction between CO and H2 on binary palladium alloys with ruthenium and nickel

The formation of saturated and unsaturated C1 and C2 hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and water is observed during reaction between CO and H2 on binary palladium alloys with 10 wt. % of Ru and 5.5 wt. % Ni at atmospheric pressure and 523-683 K. The introduction of hydrogen into reaction zone by different methods, by diffusion through a membrane catalyst or in a mixture with CO, influenced the activity and selectivity of the catalysts investigated.
