Preparation of highly dispersed NiMo catalysts supported on carbon black particles of hollow spheres
- Kyushu Univ., Fukuoka (Japan); and others
One of unique carbon blacks, Ketjen Black (KB) which has extremely high surface area and low specific gravity, was selected as a catalyst support to prepare a highly dispersed NiMo catalyst with the function for recovery and the high activity for hydrogenation. KB-supported NiMo catalysts were prepared by means of impregnation, ion exchange, and incipient wetness methods from various kinds and amounts of Ni and Mo salts, and their activities were examined in the hydrogenation of 1-methyinaphthalene(1-MN) using a magnetic-stirred autoclave of 50 ml capacity at 380{degrees}C for 40 min under 10 MPa H{sub 2} reaction pressure. The catalyst, prepared from (NH{sub 4}){sub 2}MoS{sub 4} and Ni(OAc){sub 2} in their methanol solution by successive impregnations of Mo10% and Ni(2 wt%) in this order supported on nitric acid-treated carbon black(KB JD-O), provided the highest conversion of 86% to methyl-tetralins. Combinations of metal salts soluble in organic solvent, impregnation solvents, and surface properties of carbon black are suggested to be important for the preparation of highly active catalysts with higher dispersions of Ni and Mo on the carbon black, because they are easily agglomerated in impregnation solvent. It is also noted that KB-supported NiMo catalysts showed much higher activity for the hydrogenation than a commercial NiMo/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} with the smaller weight of catalyst.
