W. R. Grace Co.-Conn. Aluminum Molybdenum Oxide Product Stewardship Summary I. Overview Aluminum Molybdenum Oxide is a component in Grace hydroprocessing catalysts used by the petroleum industry for the refining of crude oil fractions like naphtha, kerosene and diesel under elevated pressure and temperature. These catalysts used are usually composed of oxides of Mo (Molybdenum), Co (Cobalt), Ni (Nickel), and W (Tungsten) on a matrix or carrier of alumina, silica or silica and alumina. Aluminum Molybdenum Oxide, as used by Grace, is generated and used in situ in closed industrial processes. The substance is incorporated into extrudates with other substances. Grace is not a commercial supplier of Aluminum Molybdenum Oxide. II.

Applications Hydroprocessing catalysts are used in the refining industry within process reactors at industrial locations to upgrade heavy oils into lighter, more useful products by removing impurities such as nitrogen, sulfur and heavy metals, allowing less expensive feedstock to be used in the petroleum refining process. Hydroprocessing is an important process necessary to remove po
