Some samples of alumina supporting with sulfate ions and molybdenium were
prepared by impregnation method. Supported samples were calcinated at 550°C for 6h.
Presence of sulfate ions and molybdenium lead to decreasing of the specific surface area o
f
alumina, and in the ease of molybdenium the decreasing value was higher. The total pore
volume was decreased with the pore size was increased. XRD patterns showed that the
incorporation of sulfate ions and molybdenium did not affect crystalin structure of
alumina. FTIR spectra showed the bonding between sulfate ionsmolybdenium
and
alumina. The TG-DTA studies showed that the losses mass was decreased when the sulfate
ions and molybdenium were incorporated, sulfate ions and molybdenium oxide
decomposed at ~700°C and ~800°C respectively .
