Abstract
IN petroleum refinery practice de-sulphurization is carried out by catalysts consisting of an η - or γ-type alumina impregnated with cobalt and molybdenum oxides. However, the nature of the cobalt and molybdenum compound or compounds present on the catalyst is quite unknown, and a search through the literature reveals that there is almost no information on the formula and crystal structure of cobalt molybdate. A mineral paterite is known which is quoted as having the formula CoMoO4 1.
