Bimetallic NiMo/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst for renewable hydrocarbon production
Description of the Technology
The inexpensive Ni, Mo precursors and technologically simple deposition-precipitation impregnation with following drying, calcination and reduction steps are utilized for bimetallic NiMo/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst synthesis. Inexpensive impregnation agent is used for impregnation step. The impregnation agent eliminates from the catalyst structure during drying and calcination.
