Progress in Ru-Based Amorphous Alloy Catalysts for Selective Hydrogenation of Benzene to Cyclohexene

Ru-based amorphous alloy catalysts prepared by the chemical reduction method have high activity and excellent cyclohexene selectivity due to their structure that has the merits of amorphous alloys and nano-particles. In particular, the supported catalysts have the advantages of better utilization of the Ru noble metal and ease of use in industry. The thermodynamics and kinetics for selective hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene over these catalysts, and the influence of the structure and composition of the catalysts were described. The reaction conditions, ability to modify the catalysts, and results of pilot tests were emphasized. Directions in this field for future research were suggested.
