Unsupported and silica-supported cobalt-molybdenum oxide hydrodesulfurization catalysts containing 0-100Vertical Bar3< cobalt were studied by atomic absorption, ESCA, X-ray analysis, gravimetric oxidation-reduction measurements, and ESR and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results showed that MoO/sub 3/ is present, probably as a polymolybdate that interacts with the silicate; that a nearly stoichiometric CoMoO/sub 4/ is formed; that excess cobalt forms mainly Co/sub 3/O/sub 4/; that the high hydrodesulfurization activity of the supported catalyst containing 27Vertical Bar3< cobalt is probably due to its high dispersion; and that cobalt catalyzes the reduction of molybdenum(VI) and (V) to molybdenum(IV).
