Influence of impregnation conditions on formation of MoO/sub 3/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ system in hydrotreating catalysts
This article investigates the influence of the concentration and pH of the impregnating solution of ammonium molybdate and the characteristics of the aluminium oxide pore structure on the process of MoO/sub 3/ accumulation on the support. The introduction of active components by impregnating a support with aqueous solutions of compounds of these components is widely used in the manufacture of hydrotreating catalysts. The impregnation was performed by adding 500 ml of aqueous ammonium molybdate solution to 100 cm/sup 3/ of the support in a tightly closed flask. The results show that the highest rate of MoO/sub 3/ accumulation on the supports corresponds to an impregnation time of 0.5-1 /SUP h/ . Weight losses following an exo-effect is observed in the region of temperatures corresponding to sublimation of MoO/sub 3/ from the surface of the MoO/sub 3/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ systems. It is determined that when MoO/sub 3/ is introduced into aluminium oxide by impregnating calcined granules with an ammonium molybdate solution (with MoO/sub 3/ concentration 135-173 g/liter and pH 5.6-6.9), the MoO/sub 3/ content depends on the length of the impregnation period and the pH of the solution to a greater degree than it depends on the concentration. Includes 4 tables.
