Nickel-molybdenum-ammonia catalyst

A favorable combination of valence forces of both components seems to be the basic principle of the nickel-molybdenum ammonia catalyst. It has been found (50) that an effective catalyst of this type requires the presence of two solid phases consisting of molybdenum and nickel on the one hand and an excess of metallic molybdenum on the other. Similar conditions prevail for molybdenum-cobalt and for molybdenum-iron catalysts their effectiveness depends on an excess of free metal, molybdenum for the molybdenum-cobalt combination and iron for the molybdenum-iron combination, beyond the amounts of the two components which combine with each other. A simple explanation for the working mechanism of such catalysts is that at the boundary lines between the two phases, an activation takes place. In the case of the nickel-molybdenum catalyst, the nickel-molybdenum phase will probably act preferentially on the hydrogen and the molybdenum phase on the nitrogen. [Pg.101]

Molybdenum In its pure form, without additions, it is the most efficient catalyst of all the easily obtainable and reducible substances, and it is less easily poisoned than iron. It catalyzes in another way than iron, insofar as it forms analytically easily detectable amounts of metal nitrides (about 9% nitrogen content) during its catalytic action, whereas iron does not form, under synthesis conditions, analytically detectable quantities of a nitride. In this respect, molybdenum resembles tungsten, manganese and uranium which all form nitrides during their operation, as ammonia catalysts. Molybdenum is clearly promoted by nickel, cobalt and iron, but not by oxides such as alumina. Alkali metals can act favorably on molybdenum, but oxides of the alkali metals are harmful. Efficiency, as pure molybdenum, 1.5%, promoted up to 4% ammonia. [Pg.95]

Reduction. Benzene can be reduced to cyclohexane [110-82-7], C5H12, or cycloolefins. At room temperature and ordinary pressure, benzene, either alone or in hydrocarbon solvents, is quantitatively reduced to cyclohexane with hydrogen and nickel or cobalt (14) catalysts. Catalytic vapor-phase hydrogenation of benzene is readily accomplished at about 200°C with nickel catalysts. Nickel or platinum catalysts are deactivated by the presence of sulfur-containing impurities in the benzene and these metals should only be used with thiophene-free benzene. Catalysts less active and less sensitive to sulfur, such as molybdenum oxide or sulfide, can be used when benzene is contaminated with sulfur-containing impurities. Benzene is reduced to 1,4-cydohexadiene [628-41-1], C6HS, with alkali metals in liquid ammonia solution in the presence of alcohols (15). [Pg.39]

Nickel/molybdate hydrocracking catalysts are made by impregnating preformed supports with solutions of nickel and molybdenum salts. The addition of ammonia or phosphoric acid to the solutions before impregnation is claimed to simplify the procedure and to improve activity of the catalyst. [Pg.236]

Ammonia production from natural gas includes the following processes desulfurization of the feedstock primary and secondary reforming carbon monoxide shift conversion and removal of carbon dioxide, which can be used for urea manufacture methanation and ammonia synthesis. Catalysts used in the process may include cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, iron oxide/chromium oxide, copper oxide/zinc oxide, and iron. [Pg.64]

Typical catalysts used in both ammonia synthesis and cracking include iron oxide, molybdenum, ruthenium, and nickel. Unlike synthesis, cracking does not require high pressures, and typically it operates at temperatures around 800—900 °C. ... [Pg.534]

Equation (305) describes the ammonia synthesis rate not only on iron catalysts, but also over molybdenum catalyst (105), tungsten (106), cobalt (95), nickel (96), and other metals (107). Equation (300) describes ammonia decomposition on various metals (provided that there is enough H2 in the gas phase). [Pg.253]

Catalytic reductions have been carried out under an extremely wide range of reaction conditions. Temperatures of 20 C to over 300 C have been described. Pressures from atmospheric to several thousand pounds have been used. Catal3rsts have included nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, iron, tin, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium and many others. They have been used as free metals, in finely divided form for enhanced activity, or as compounds (such as oxides or sulfides). Catalysts have been used singly and in combination, also on carriers, such as alumina, magnesia, carbon, silica, pumice, clays, earths, barium sulfate, etc., or in unsupported form. Reactions have been carried out with organic solvents, without solvents, and in water dispersion. Finally, various additives, such as sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, ammonia, carbon monoxide, and others, have been used for special purposes. It is obvious that conditions must be varied from case to case to obtain optimum economics, yield, and quality. [Pg.175]

Willard and Tang (ref. 1) utilised the technique for the precipitation of basic aluminium sulphate by the controlled hydrolysis of urea to yield ammonia and called it as Precipitation From Homogeneous Solution (PFHS) which is the basis for development. Since then a large number of methods were developed and they were reviewed (refs. 2-4). Anion release technique involves the release of anion in solution so as to precipitate metal ions present through controlled hydrolysis. Thioacetamide hydrolysis was used to precipitate molybdenum sulphide (ref. 5) and nickel sulphide (ref. 6). Recently PFHS method has been identified as a good means of making better catalysts (refs. 7-10). [Pg.611]

Sulfide catalysts, such as nickel, tungsten or molybdenum sulfides, promote hydrogenation across the C—S (and C—N) links in the organic constituents of the oil, so that hydrogen sulfide (and also ammonia) are eliminated by reactions of the type R -S-R2 + 2H2---------------> Ri-H + R2-H + H2S (2.1)... [Pg.249]
