Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a novel chemical trapping technique to identify surface species in CO hydrogenation reactions over RuKY catalysts and found that the action of the trapping agent appears to be more complex than had previously been suggested.

TL;DR: The characteristics of the support as well as the method of addition of alkali species were found to affect the adsorptive properties of a series of nickel and nickel-potassium catalysts supported on silica as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of CO and H2 was investigated on a series of Rh/SiO2 and alkali-promoted catalysts using IR spectroscopy and volumetric measurements.
Abstract: The adsorption of CO and H2 was investigated on a series of Rh/SiO2 and alkali-promoted Rh/SiO2 catalysts using IR spectroscopy and volumetric measurements. The characteristics of the support, the method of preparation, and the type of alkali species all were found to influence the adsorptive properties of the catalysts. Several different types of interactions between Rh, SiO2, and alkali species were postulated, including both geometric and electronic interactions.
