The molecular-scale understanding of the genesis MoS2 phase from Mo-oxide precursors supported on alumina is highly challenging with a strong impact activation process heterogeneous industrial catalysts. By means density functional theory (DFT), we quantify free energies elementary steps involved in sulfo-reduction mechanisms Mo-trioxide oligomers and stability corresponding Mo-oxysulfide inter...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the flexural strength of the joint between glass-infiltrated alumina frames and the experimental adjusting agent (MA modifier) that contains alumina and magnesia. METHODS A commercially available adjusting agent (Optimizer), a slurry of alumina powder (Alumina modifier), and a bulk specimen (joint-free alumina) were used as controls. Be...
