Highly active Ru/TiO nanostructures for total catalytic oxidation of propane.

Ruthenium is a robust catalyst for a variety of applications in environmental heterogeneous catalysis. The catalytic performance of Ru/TiO materials, synthesized by using the deposition precipitation with urea method, was assessed in the catalytic oxidation of CH, varying the ruthenium loading. The highest catalytic reactivity was obtained for a Ru loading of 2 wt.
