Ruthenium catalysts

Ruthenium catalysts are substances containing the metal ruthenium that speed up chemical reactions without being consumed. They are used in various industrial processes, such as refining fuels, producing chemicals, and in certain types of chemical reactions like hydrogenation—adding hydrogen to compounds. Ruthenium's properties allow it to activate and facilitate these reactions efficiently, often under milder conditions. Its versatility and stability make it valuable in creating cleaner fuels and targeted chemical syntheses, contributing to advances in chemistry and energy sectors.
