Metallic molybdenum was synthesized through reduction of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) by using hydrogen as a reducing agent. The reduction behavior of MoO3 were investigated by using temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The reduced phases were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The XRD results indicate that the reduction of MoO3 proceed in two steps reduction (MoO3 → MoO2 → Mo) with formation of intermediate phases of Mo4O11 during first step of reduction. However, the TPR results showed only one broad peak that correspond to all reduction step that was merge into one peak. It seem that, increasing the temperature cause the rapid reduction that correlated with thermodynamic consideration data that show the formation of metallic molybdenum is become feasible by increasing the temperature.

The reduction behaviour of tungsten oxide has been studied by using temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The reduction behavior were examine by nonisothermal reduction up to 900 oC then continued with isothermal reduction at 900 oC for 45 min time under (40% v/v) carbon monoxide in nitrogen (CO in N2) atmosphere. The TPR signal clearly shows one peak attributed to formation of suboxide W18O49 (more) and WO2 (less) observed at 80 min. The reduction product was investigated by varying the holding reaction time. Based on the characterization of the reduction products by using XRD, it was found that, nonisothermal reduction of WO3 at temperature 900 oC partially converted to some W18O49 and WO2 phases. However, after increased the reaction holding time for 45 min, WO3 phases disappeared and converted to WO2 and W metal phases. It is obviously shows that by hold the reduction time could improve the reducibility of the sample oxide. Furthermore, it is suggested that reduction by using CO as reducing agent follows the consecutives steps WO3 → WO2.92 → W18O49 → WO2 → W.

The reduction behavior of silver doped molybdenum trioxide (Ag/MoO3) and undoped MoO3 by using carbon monoxide, CO were investigated by using temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The reduced phases were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). In the carbon monoxide atmosphere, the XRD results indicated that the reduction of Ag/MoO3 and undoped MoO3 to MoO2 phase proceed in two steps (MoO3 → Mo4O11 → MoO2) with Mo4O11 present as an intermediate state. A complete reduction to metallic molybdenum for both samples cannot occurred since in an excess CO atmosphere, MoO2 is promoted to form carbides rather than reduce to metallic molybdenum. Nevertheless, addition of silver to modified MoO3 shows the better reducibility compared to MoO3 alone by lower the reducing temperature of MoO3. TPR results show that the reduction peak of Ag/MoO3 is slightly shifts to lower temperature as compared with the undoped MoO3. The interaction between silver and molybdenum ions leads to this slightly decrease of the reduction temperature of silver doped MoO3. It can be seen that doping with silver has a remarkable influence in the reduction process of the MoO3 catalyst.

The reduction behavior of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) by carbon monoxide (CO) has been studied using temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and was characterized using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The TPR result shows that the first reduction peak of MoO3 under 20 vol. % CO in nitrogen started at 530 °C and second reduction peaks observed was at 700 °C. The XRD technique was employed to identify the changes in the sample. It was found that after non-isothermal reduction up to 700 °C, the intermediate phases Mo4O11 were observed. Completed reduction to MoO2 achieved after continued reduction with isothermal mode at 700 °C for 60 minutes. Based on the XRD analysis, it is confirmed that the reduction of MoO3 to MoO2 in CO atmosphere consists of two reduction stages, i) Mo6+ → Mo5+ and ii) Mo5+ → Mo4+. While, CO excess have resulted the formation of molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) rather than formation of metallic molybdenum (Mo).

The NiO-ZnO binary materials had been prepared by co-precipitation method. The weight percent of nickel of NiO-ZnO materials were 5, 10 and 20; they were pretreated under air at temperature of 300, 500 and 700°C, respectively. The characterization of NiO-ZnO materials were the thermal gravity analysis(TGA), X-ray diffraction(XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption at 77K, scaning electron microscope(SEM) and temperature-programmed reduction(TPR). The results revealed that surface areas of NiO-ZnO materials order from large to small were 20NiZn(OH)x(66 m2·g-1) > 10NiZn(OH)x(34 m2·g-1) > 5NiZn(OH)x(9 m2·g-1) after being calcined at the temperature of 500°C. Further, NiO-ZnO materials had two main reductive peaks at 390-415°C and 560-657°C, respectively. In all NiO-ZnO materials, 20NiZn(OH)x-C500 material had the highest surface area and the best interaction between NiO and ZnO.
