Mössbauer Spectroscopy of Iron and Iron-Molybdenum Hydrotreating Catalysts

  • Chapter
Mössbauer Spectroscopy Applied to Inorganic Chemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE,volume 3))

Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy is an excellent technique for in situ investigation of catalysts, due to the high penetrating power of the γ-radiation applied and the sensitivity of the spectral parameters to the chemical state and local environment of the Mössbauer atom. In addition, it is one of the few techniques with which it is possible to study both model catalysts under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions, as used in surface science, and industrial catalyst systems under process conditions. So, the potential of this technique in catalytic research is high and the number of applications is still growing. It is becoming a standard technique for identification of the phases present in catalysts, in particular, in those cases where the catalytic system contains poorly crystallized, microcrystalline, or amorphous phases. Applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy in the field of catalysis have been reviewed earlier.1–6 Recently, we have reviewed our Mössbauer investigations of iron and iron alloy Fischer-Tropsch catalysts.7 The purpose of the present review is to outline the importance of Mössbauer spectroscopy in developing and understanding iron and iron-molybdenum sulfide hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts.8–14 These catalysts belong to the group of hydrotreating catalysts, which is of great importance in industrial catalysis.15
