Cryogenic approach to the synthesis of molybdenite-based hydrodesulfurization catalysts

The grinding of molybdenite as a dimensional precursor of the active component of a bulk hydrodesulfurization catalyst under cryogenic conditions in solid argon and liquid nitrogen is performed for the first time. The physicochemical properties of the samples are determined using instrumental methods. The chemical testing of their surface properties is carried out. The hydrodesulfurization ability of cryo-powders in the model reaction of dibenzothiophene is determined.
