Abstrakt: Reversible poisoning of the catalysts for ammonia synthesis by oxygen has been used to eliminate the pyrophoric nature of the reduced catalysts via their treatment by the mixtures of nitrogen, hydrogen or helium with oxygen at catalysis temperatures. Kinetic studies of oxygen sorption, catalyst structure, activity and stability to the secondary oxidation of the samples partially oxidized at various temperatures have revealed that the optimum temperatures to eliminate the pyrophoric effect are 673–773 K.
