Z. Vit et al., PREPARATION OF ALUMINA-SUPPORTED MO CATALYSTS FROM MOLYBDENUM BLUE PRECURSOR, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 55(1), 1995, pp. 221-226
Alumina supported Mo catalysts were prepared by adsorption of molybden
um blue (MB) on two alumina supports. Sulfided catalysts were tested i
n HDN/HDS reactions of pyridine and thiophene and compared with cataly
sts prepared from ammonium heptamolybdate (AHM). Activities of catalys
ts prepared from MB were considerably higher in thiophene HDS and pyri
dine hydrogenation and lower in C-N bond hydrogenolysis.
