Sustainable synthesis of ammonium nickel molybdate for hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(16)62453-1

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper reports a sustainable, water-assisted, solid-state method for synthesizing ammonium nickel molybdate((NH₄)HNi₂(OH)₂(MoO₄)₂, ANM), a precursor for an unsupported hydrodesulfurization(HDS) catalyst. The associated ANM formation mechanism is also discussed. The synthesis route consists of physical mixing of the raw materials, water-assisted grinding and heating. The formation mechanism involves replacement of a Mo atom by a Ni atom, generating the metastable intermediate(NH₄)₄(NiH₆Mo₆O₂₄)·5H₂O. Heating of this intermediate at 120℃ removes the added water and produces ANM. Catalysts prepared by this method exhibit almost the same physicochemical properties and catalytic performance during the HDS of dibenzothiophene as materials made from ANM synthesized by a chemical precipitation procedure. Compared with traditional hydrothermal or chemical precipitation methods, this water-assisted, solid-state synthesis provides several significant advantages, including simplifying the synthetic procedure, reducing waste and energy costs and increasing product yields. These features will be highly important with regard to allowing the application of ANM in industrial-scale processes involving HDS reactions. This waterassisted, solid-state strategy can also be extended to the synthesis of isomorphous compounds such as ammonium cobalt(zinc and copper) molybdate.
