Catalytic hydrodenitrogenation of indole over molybdenum nitride and carbides with different structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of indole has been studied over Mo2N and Mo2C with different structures. The difference in activity was modest and the structure of the catalysts exerted a more signi®cant effect than the chemical composition. More evident difference was observed in selectivity, and here the composition was the most important factor. Sonochemically prepared Mo2C was an active catalyst for HDN reaction. It formed plate-like aggregates of loosely packed Mo2C (fcc) particles. The crystallinity of sonochemically prepared Mo2C was improved during the reaction, and its behavior in HDN became similar to Mo2C (fcc) prepared by the TPR method. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation over tungsten carbide catalysts
Tungsten carbides with surface areas ranging from 4 to 39 m2/g were prepared by the temperatureprogrammed carburization of tungsten oxide and nitride powders with pure C H 4 o r a 48.9% CH4 in H 2 mixture. Oxygen uptakes on the carbides were low most likely because of the presence of graphitic carbon at the surface. Nevertheless, the carbides were active and selective for the dehydrogenation of...
