Raman spectroscopy and XRD are used to study the preparation of alumina-supported Mo catalysts, with emphasis on the molecular level understanding of the influence of the ageing step (i.e. leaving the catalyst in contact with water after impregnation and before drying) on Mo speciation. For incipient wetness impregnation with heptamolybdate ((NH4)(6)Mo7O24), long oxide/water contact times (ageing) favor alumina dissolution and consequently increase the formation and crystallization of the resulting compound, (NH4)(3)[Al(OH)(6)Mo6O18] on Al2O3. Precipitation of this compound leads to the formation of MoO3 after calcination. On the contrary, minimizing the oxide/water contact time (and therefore alumina dissolution) by freeze-drying the system after impregnation inhibits the formation and crystallization of (NH4)(3)[Al(OH)(6)Mo6O18] and therefore drastically limits MoO3 formation after calcination.
