Abstract

A series of nickel-containing catalysts was prepared by a sequence of impregnation and calcining steps using a γ-alumina support. The calcined catalysts were reduced in a flow of hydrogen and mixtures of hydrogen with hydrogen sulfide. Both the calcining temperature and nickel loading strongly influenced the hydrogenation activity. The changes in surface species which resulted from some of the preparation steps were identified by spectroscopy. The catalysts containing nickel without molybdenum were quickly poisoned by sulfur, but a certa in sulfur tolerance was achieved by a two-step impregnation and calcining procedure. Improved hydrogenation activity and high hydrogenation vs. hydrocracking selectivity of nickel—molybdenum catalysts were obtained with relatively low loading of molybdenum and high loading of nickel. A three-step impregnation and calcining procedure appeared to produce the most effective catalysts.

    Alloys containing molybdenum are characterised by high hardness, high wear, thermal and corrosion resistance as well as good electrocatalytic properties for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) [2, 3]. They also serve as catalysts for hydroprocessing of aromatic oils [4] and hydrogenation of benzene in the gas phase [5]. Ni–Mo coatings offer an important alternative to chromium coatings, which should be eliminated from manufacturing processes e.g. in aviation industry [6].

    Citation Excerpt :

    The high electrochemical activity of the Ni–Mo alloys makes them widely used in modern electrochemistry-related industry [1,4,7]. Related to electrocatalytic applications, they serve as electrodes in the process of the hydrogen evolution reaction [8–10], and as catalysts for hydroprocessing of aromatic oils and gas phase hydrogenation of benzene [6]. The presence of molybdenum in these materials increases their electrocatalytic activity and improves their mechanical properties.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Molybdenum alloys are used in variety of applications. They serve as electrodes in the process of the hydrogen evolution reaction [12–14], as catalysts for hydroprocessing of aromatic oils and gas phase hydrogenation of benzene [15]. This electrocatalytic activity is due to the low overvoltage of hydrogen on Mo and Ni [16].
