The hydrogenolysis of propane, n-butane, and isobutane has been investigated using Ru/Ti02 catalysts containing 0.5 and5 wt% Ru pretreated in various ways. Reduction of RuCl3/Ti02 by H2 at 758 K gives catalysts of low to moderate activity; they are thought to be substantially contaminated by Cl" and not in the low-activity SMSI state, which is however attained on reduction at 893 K. Oxidation at 623 K after the first reduction at either temperature, followed by mild reduction, affords catalysts of high activity, free of Cl", and in a non-SMSI state. This treatment leads to highly dispersed Ru particles, which exhibit high methane selectivities; analysis of product distributions using the Kempling-Anderson formalism shows in the case of Ŧ-butane that oxidized catalysts have a marked preference for terminal CC bond breaking. Subsequent reductions at hightemperature lead to catalysts of low activity in the SMSI state, but residual activity after 758 K reduction is due to small particles which havenot succumbed to SMSI and after 893 K reduction to large particles persisting from the first reduction. Isobutane is much less reactive than the Ŧ-alkanes, perhaps because it requires a larger active center for its chemisorption.
