Hydrogenation catalysts were derived from Mo(Co)/sub 6//alumina
Alumina hydrogenation catalysts were derived from mo(CO)/sub 6//alumina with characteristics dependent upon the activation temperature, degree of alumina hydroxylation, and carrier gas used. Decomposition of Mo(CO)/sub 6/ at 100/sup 0/C on partially hydroxylated alumina in helium or hydrogen yielded Mo(CO)/sub 3//alumina, which catalyzed olefin metathesis in helium carrier and both metathesis and hydrogenation in hydrogen carrier. Decomposition of Mo(CO)/sub 6/ on dehydroxylated alumina at 100/sup 0/C in helium and in hydrogen resulted in complete decarbonylation and partial oxidation of molybdenum; this catalyst was 10 times as active as Mo(CO)/sub 3//alumina for hydrogenation. Decomposition of Mo(CO)/sub 6/ on dehydroxylated alumina at 500/sup 0/C in helium gave essentially Mo(0)/alumina, which catalyzed hydrogenation, methanation, and hydrogenolysis in hydrogen. Catalysts activated on dehydroxylated alumina were ten times more active for methanation at 300/sup 0/C than catalyst activated on partially hydroxylated alumina and showed differences in selectivity for cyclopropane hydrogenolysis at 100/sup 0/C.
