Abstract
This theoretical thesis provides a general overview on the research performed in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and different catalyst systems for the decomposition of ammonia. Furthermore, a possible research was proposed on the connection of catalytic activity and acidity of supports in ammonia decomposition. A commercially available family of supports with different alumina/silica compositions was suggested to be employed. Ru would be added to the supports by homogeneous deposition precipitation method, using ruthenium(III) chloride hydrate precursor.The prepared catalysts will be tested for ammonia decomposition in a fixed bed reactor and shall be characterized by an array of characterization techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Keywords: ammonia decomposition, heterogeneous catalysis, ruthenium, alumina and silica.
