The present work evaluates different supports, La₂O₃, TiO₂-R, TiO₂-A, SiO₂, Nb₂O₅ and aluminum pillared clays (Al-PILC), in the preparation of bimetallic RuSn catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by impregnation method, calcined and reduced at 673K and characterized by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). Dimethyl adipate hydrogenation reactions were carried out at 50bar and 528K in liquid phase. The presence of reducible support species showed a promoting effect over both activity and selectivity to 1,6-hexanediol, suggesting a combined effect between the support and the promoter (tin). Active sites obtained in RuSn/TiO₂-anatase, RuSn/SiO₂ and RuSn/Nb₂O₅ catalysts were suitable for the hydrogenation of the ester group of dimethyl adipate, leading 1,6-hexanediol formation. Both catalytic tests and TPR analysis show the great support influence on the formation of active phase, as well as on the reducibility of the metallic species, which was attributed to different interaction among metals and the solid support.
