Abstract:

The main application of Mo-containing catalysts in chemical processes is reviewed，including that in sulfur-containing conditions，selective oxidation process and methane aromatization under non-oxidative conditions. The unique sulfur-tolerance ability makes Mo unsubstitutable in hydrotreating，CO shift and alcohol synthesis process. Mo-containing oxide can act as an excellent catalyst for selective oxidation of hydrocarbon. Its good complex property makes Mo-containing complex quite useful in selective and asymmetric oxidation of olefins. It can also be used in methane aromatization process. However，its activity and stability need to be further improved.
