Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A preferred embodiment of the process involves a generate a catalyst that comprises molybdenum carbide nickel material. Steps may involve heating a surface that comprises molybdenum oxide and a nickel salt while passing thereover a gaseous mixture that comprises a reductant and a carburizer. In certain embodiments, the reductant and the carburizer may both be carbon monoxide, or both be a saturated hydrocarbon. In others, the reductant may be carbon monoxide and the carburizer may be a saturated hydrocarbon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for producing a molybdenum carbide and nickel material comprising the steps of: heating molybdenum oxide, nickel salt, a first quantity of carbon monoxide and a second quantity of carbon monoxide; reducing said molybdenum oxide and said nickel salt with said first quantity of carbon monoxide; carburizing said molybdenum oxide and said nickel salt with said second quantity of carbon monoxide; and yielding said molybdenum carbide and nickel mat…
