Abstract: The alumina-supported Co-Mo bimetallic oxide precursor was prepared by coprecipitation of ethanolic solution of Al(NO3)3 and Co(NO3)2, and aqueous solution of (NH4)2CO3 and (NH4)6Mo7O24. The precursor was then reduced to Co-Mo bimetallic nitride catalyst by NH3 temperature-programmed reaction. This nitride catalyst has higher activity, higher crystal stability, and more uniform dispersion of the active components than the sample prepared by impregnation.

Key words: cobalt, molybdenum, alumina, ammonia decomposition, coprecipitation method, impregnation method
