Application of Molybdenum Catalysts in Biorefinery
نویسنده
چکیده
Catalysis is one of the core technologies in modern chemistry, energy industry and recently with promising application in biorefinery for sustainable fuels and energy production. Reducing the cost of catalyst systems is one of the ways in which technology can be brought closer to full commercialisation. The replacement of noble metals by cheaper non-precious alternatives would bring valuable savings. One of the catalyst candidate for sustainable fuels and energy production is molybdenum based active phases like Mo2C, MoS2 and MoO3. This article is dealing with the preparation techniques, regeneration of molybdenum based catalysts as well with giving examples of application these catalysts for conversion methane, synthetic gas, vegetable oils and other biorefinery resources originated from biomass.

The surfaces of molybdenum carbide were varied by changing the carburization temperature between 823 and 1123 K. The surfaces of the catalytic material were investigated using in-situ temperature program carburization followed by temperature program reduction and oxidation. In-situ temperature program oxidation (TPO) showed the surfaces of the catalysts contain a similar amoun...
