Abstract

Molybdenum nitrides have been shown to be active hydrotreating catalysts. We explored the hydrotreating activities of supported Mo nitrides. It was observed that the hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization activities were inverse functions of the molybdenum loading. By using oxygen chemisorption and carbon monoxide temperature programmed desorption, we were able to characterize the particle morphology of the nitrides.
