Abstract. Ru + Ag/US-Y and Ru + Co/US-Y based catalysts have been studied for their catalytic activity towards N2O decomposition, a reaction of current environmental importance. Ruthenium-cobalt based catalyst shows higher catalytic activity than the ruthenium-silver-based catalyst. Almost 90% conversion ofN2O is achieved over Ru + Co/US-Y at 583 Kwith amaximumof 0.134 mmol of N2O decompose…
Abstract The synthesis of pyridine bases from acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and ammonia continues to provide the best prospect for meeting their growing demand. The catalytic aminocyclization has enough flexibility to tailor the catalyst and process parameters to achieve a market-friendly product distribution. An attempt has been made in the present work to investigate the vapor phase aminocycliz…
