Abstract
Under oxidizing conditions, a ruthenium catalyst system which is not protected will lose ruthenium by volatilization. A method is taught in this specification for stabilizing a ruthenium catalyst system against such volatilization under oxidizing conditions. The method is carried out by applying to a catalyst substrate a ruthenium catalyst system in which the catalytic material under oxidizing conditions is of the type La.sup.+3 Ni.sub.x.sup.+3 Ru.sub.1-x.sup.+3 O.sub.3 wherein x is in the range from 0.1 to 0.9.
