Title: (Co)MoS{sub 2}/ alumina hydrotreating catalysts : an EXAFS study of the chemisoption and partial oxidation with O{sub 2}.

Abstract

The adsorption of O{sub 2} on alumina-supported (Co)MoS{sub 2} catalysts and the subsequent mild oxidation of the (Co)MoS{sub 2} by O{sub 2} have been studied by extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. By analyzing the difference between spectra before and after O{sub 2} exposure, small changes in the structure could be determined, which were not resolved using standard methods. At 20{sup o}C on MoS{sub 2}/alumina and (Co)MoS{sub 2}/alumina, O{sub 2} is chemisorbed at the edge of the MoS{sub 2} particles at a Mo-O distance of 1.73(2) {angstrom}. The O{sub 2} chemisorption results at the Mo edge indicate that, despite the large fraction of Co at the surface of the MoS{sub 2} crystallite in (Co)MoS{sub 2}/alumina, some of the Mo atoms are exposed to the reacting gases. At 100{sup o}C, there is partial substitution of S by O atoms in the Mo coordination sphere. The resulting decrease in both the Mo-S and Mo-Mo coordination numbers indicates partial disruption of the MoS{sub 2} crystallites. At 20{sup o}C, O{sub 2} chemisorption on (Co)MoS{sub 2}/alumina also leads to displacement of the terminal Co-S bond and the formation of one Co-O bond at a distance of about 2.01(5) {angstrom}. The terminal Co-S bond distance ismore » 2.26(2) {angstrom} and is significantly longer than the four bridging Mo-S-Co bonds, which are 2.18(2) {angstrom}. At 100{sup o}C, the latter are unreactive to O{sub 2}, although the Coion coordination increases to about six, i.e., four bridging Co-S and two terminal Co-O bonds. The Co chemisorption results suggest that the terminal Co-S is the reactive bond that has been displaced by the oxygen adsorbate.« less
