Abstract/Summary:
Molybdenum based catalysts have ample applications in the petro-chemical industries, especially in hydrotreating and hydrocracking of petroleum feedstock. They are also used for hydro-processing of coal liquids and hydrogenation of coal-derived gases. The rarely studied hexagonal phase of MoO;From our experimental results it is concluded that thermodynamically stable large orthorhombic crystallites are formed at 500;The morphology of silica supported MoO...
