Abstract
Silica-supported MOS, catalysts precipitation from homogeneous exhibit ed high surface areas (180-190 m(2) g(-1) and activities which were ab out twice those of the unsupported specimens. An 8% Mo catalyst showed optimum activity. The superior activity of the supported specimen was attributed to the higher population of active sites occasioned by the good dispersion during PFHS. TEM examination also confirmed the exist ence of small MoS2 crystallites on the silica support.
