FT-IR study of CO adsorption on sulfided Mo/Al sub 2 O sub 3 unpromoted or promoted by metal carbonyls: Titration of sites

Journal Article · · Journal of Catalysis; (United States)

The IR study of CO adsorption at low temperature has been used to follow the transformation of unpromoted Mo sites into promoted ones on sulfided Mo/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts. The promotion is realized by thermal decomposition of integrated molar extinction coefficients of the v(CO) bands corresponding to the different sites has been performed. For the unpromoted catalyst, the titration technique used leads to a number of Mo sites, which is in good agreement with that provided from the geometrical model. Evidence that the formation of one promoted site occurs at the expense of one unpromoted site is provided. However, the number of detected promoted sites is lower than that expected from the amount of cobalt introduced: introduction of six cobalt atoms leads to the creation of only one promoted site. The migration of cobalt atoms into intercalated positions or into alumina is considered.
