Enhancement of Pt–Ru catalytic activity for catalytic wet air oxidation of methylamine via tuning the Ru surface chemical state and dispersion by Pt addition

Abstract

The enhancement of Pt–Ru catalytic activity for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of methylamine (MA) was achieved by addition of Pt to Ru catalyst. Pt addition improved the catalytic activity of the bimetallic catalyst due to tuning the Ru surface chemical state and the dispersion of active species. MA was totally mineralized at 200 °C over the Pt–Ru catalyst, while the temperatures required for total mineralization of MA over Pt and Ru catalysts were 240 and 210 °C, respectively. XPS results revealed that addition of Pt could promote the formation of metallic Ru meanwhile TEM and CO chemisorption results confirmed that the addition of Pt promoted the dispersion of active species in the bimetallic catalyst.
