Abstract
CoMo-Al2O3 catalyst was characterized with a combination technique of temperature-programmed sulfiding (TPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR). The behavior of the MoO3 loaded over the surface of Al2O3 obtained from TPS has been compared with that of Mo5+ observed with ESR at isothermal and elevated temperatures. The Mo6+ in the MoO3 supported is easily reduced with H2S+H2 under very mild conditions and transformed into Mo5+ as an intermediate. This Mo5+ peak drastically decreased around 200°C with H2S desorption, and H2 consumption appeared simultaneously in the TPS profile. These results suggest that the Mo5+ species observed with ESR associates with sulfur from H2S.
