Abstract

The high-temperature α (T max = 625 К) and β (T max = 750 К) states of ammonia and α (T max = 550–750 К), β (T max = 750–900 К), and γ (T max > 900 K) states of hydrogen were detected on (Ru + Cs)/C catalysts for ammonia synthesis activated under the reaction conditions (P = 30 atm; T = 650 K; the initial pressure ratio PN 2/PH 2 = 1/3). A mechanism was proposed for the formation of ammonia as a result of the interaction of chemisorbed nitrogen with hydrogen that diffused from the bulk of cesium–ruthenium particles.
