A micelle technique was developed for preparing supported catalysts with different size ruthenium particles. Ruthenium was stabilized on the support, light ends make was minimized and activity was maximized by adjusting the ruthenium particle size and the metal-support interaction. The most promising catalysts consisted of 10--15 nm ruthenium particles on an alumina-titania support and 4--6 nm ruthenium particles on an alumina support. Stability improvement was determined to be the major catalyst developmental need. Work during the next quarter will focus on the development of a stable ruthenium catalyst.
