Abstract
A series of nickel-molybdenum samples supported on alumina modified with sodium or magnesium ions was studied by the BET method, differential thermal analysis (DTA) and IR spectroscopy to determine their surface properties, pore volume and distribution. Modification with sodium and magnesium ions causes a decrease of the surface area of the nickel-molybdenum catalysts. The decrease proceeds with increasing concentration of the modifying ions. Incorporation of these ions does not change the type of catalyst pores (the ink-bottle or bottle types), yet it affects the size and distribution of pores. It was found that sodium ions prevent from the formation of aluminum molybdate, while magnesium ions increase the thermal stability of the catalyst.
