Abstract: The dispersion of MoO3 onto the surface of MCM-41 was carried out by thermally treating the mixtures of MoO3 and MCM-41. The effect of thermal treatment
time on the spreading of MoO_3 onto the surface of MCM-41 support was studied by XRD and LRS. The results showed that bulk MoO3 transformed into dispersed
surface polymolybdates species gradually as prolonging the treating time. The complete dispersion of MoO3 was attained after heating for 8h at 500℃
when m(MoO3)/m(MCM-41) was 0.2. The structure of MCM-41 was still maintained in the process of thermal treatment. BET surface areas, pore volumes and BJH pore
sizes of the samples were not changed markedly as the increment of thermal treatment time, which indicated that MoO3 dispersed monolayeredly on the surface of MCM-41.

Key words: thermal treatment time, MoO3, MCM-41, dispersion
