Abstract
The kinetics of one-component and two-component impregnation of γ-alumina (prepared from aluminium trichloride) with aqueous solutions of cobalt nitrate and ammonium molybdate were studied and treated in terms of a mathematical model accounting for the simultaneous diffusion and adsorption of the active components. The time-dependent radial concentration profiles of the components across the cylindrical support particle were obtained. The profiles of the cobalt-to-molybdenum atomic ratio were derived from the results. The conclusions are applicable to the development of procedures for the preparation of hydrodesulphuration catalysts for the working of crude oil fractions.
