Supported Ru catalysts were prepared by adsorptionprecipitation-activation method using RuCl3 as Ru resource, NaOH as precipitant and Al2O3 as support. Ru(OH)3/Al2O3 was first produced in the adsorption-precipitation process, and then activated with either calcination-reduction or direct reduction by H2 to obtain Ru/Al2O3. The synthesized Ru catalysts were characterized with XRD, XPS, H2-TPR techniques, and used for the catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl maleate (DMM). It was found that the activation process strongly affected the catalytic performance. The highest hydrogenation activity was observed with catalysts activated by direct H2 reduction, which produced the finest Ru particle on alumina. Unexpectedly, Ru metal formation was observed based on XRD and XPS data and was explained by the disproportionation reaction of Ruthenium hydroxide: 4Ru(OH)3 = Ru + 3RuO2 + 6H2O. This explanation was also supported by the H2-TPR results of Ru(OH)3/Al2O3 samples pretreated under different conditions, and by characterization data of unsupported Ru samples. XRD data demonstrated that large particles of Ru and RuO2 were formed upon calcination of Ru(OH)3/Al2O3 at above 200 °C, and subsequent reduction of the calcined sample would give rise to Ru/Al2O3 with larger metal crystals as compared to that of directly reduced ones.
