Abstract: The dispersion and crystal phase changes of tungsten and molybdenum compounds on samples prepared by impregnating ammonium metatungstate and ammonium paramolybdate on amorphous ZrO2during the calcination have been investigated in detail. It was found that after the calcination at 350℃ tungsten and molybdenum existed in the form of isopolyacidic anions,so that the apparent dispersion thresholds determined by XRD method were much greater than the calculated monolayer dispersion capacities of WO3and MoO3on ZrO2.After calcination at 800 ℃ the Wand Mo dispersed on ZrO2transformed into the form of WO3on ZrMo2O8,and the experimental apparent dispersion thresholds became approximate to the monolayer dispersion capacities of WO3and ZrMo2O8on ZrO2.The results of measurements by Hammett indicator and n-pentane isomerization methods showed that Ho of the WO3/ZrO2systems reached-13.8--14.5 and that of the MoO3/ZrO2systems-12.0--12.7,and the samples containing the amounts of WO3and MoO3close to their monolayer dispersion capacities and calcined at 800℃ displayed stronger superacidity.
