When Ru is supported on basic materials, the observed rates of NH3 synthesis were
higher [1,2]. On the other hand, an intensified NH3 synthesis process using an acidic
absorbent -such as MgCl2- in the reactor, maintained a low partial pressure of
ammonia in the gas phase, and the reaction equilibrium shifted to right [3]. Along
these lines, the effect of surface acidity of the hydroxyapatite (HAp), zeolite-Y and
carbon (Vulcan XC72R) supports on the NH3 synthesis rate over Ru is reported in
this study.
