A series of Mo/TiO{sub 2} catalysts ranging from 1 to 15 wt% MoO{sub 3} was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The catalysts were characterized by laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, ESCA), and gravimetric analysis. The Mo interaction species and MoO{sub 3} were identified and quantitated by Raman spectroscopy. The Mo interaction species increased with Mo loading up to 6 wt% MoO{sub 3} and leveled off at higher Mo loadings. MoO{sub 3} is detected at 7.5 wt% MoO{sub 3}/TiO{sub 2} and increased linearly with further Mo additions. The molybdenum speciation determined from Raman data is shown to correlate with ESCA and XRD measurements. The reduction characteristics of molybdenum on titania depend on Mo loading, and a lower average Mo oxidation state is found for Mo/TiO{sub 2} than previously reported for comparable loadings of Mo/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts. Correlation between structure and thiophene hydrodesulfurization activity is presented for the Mo/TiO{sub 2} series. The influence of nickel (cobalt) addition on the surface structure and the reactivity of the Mo/TiO{sub 2} catalysts is also examined.
