Methanation Catalyst

The catalysis of carbon monoxide hydrogenation by supported cobalt and ruthenium clusters is studied, and an unusually specific cobalt methanation catalyst is described. A variety of ruthenium carbonyl clusters catalyzes carbon monoxide methanation, irrespective of support, and Ru3(CO)12 on γ-alumina is found to be a potentially useful carbon dioxide methanation catalyst.
