We investigated aluminum-nickel-molybdenum catalysts (ANMC) by thermogravimetric, electron paramagnetic resonance, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic, and electron-spectroscopic diffusion reflectance methods. These hydropurification catalysts contained different concentrations of hydrogenation metals (Ni and Mo) and were either modified, or not, by silica gel (6% SiO/sub 2/). It was shown that with an increase in the concentration of Ni and Mo, the amount of nickel-molybdenum compounds in ANMC increased. The incorporation of SiO/sub 2/ into the composition of ANMC inhibited the interaction of Ni and Mo with the carrier and contributed to the formation of large amounts of nickel-molybdenum and aluminum-nickel-molybdenum surface associates, which are precursors of active hydropurification phases in ANMC.
