Macro-pore volume mesoporous alumina (MMA) synthesized by secondary nano-assembly method was applied as support for Mo-Ni-P catalyst. The samples were characterized by mercury intrusion method, XRD, TEM, and SEM. They displayed simultaneously enough active sites and particular larger pores structure. By taking advantage of these properties, Mo-Ni-P MMA catalyst bearing high active species dispersion, good reducibility, and enhanced diffusibility compared with a commercial catalyst. It is prospected that the obtained MMA had a good potential as support for HDS catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
