Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy has become a very important technique for studying many catalyst systems. The technique may provide unique information about many problems such as (i) the nature and concentration of the phases present in the working state of a catalyst (also in the case where the catalysts contain multiphasic, micro-crystalline or amorphous structures), (ii) support interactions, (iii) preparation, activation and deactivation phenomena, (iv) particle size, (v) surface structure and composition, and (vi) active sites. The variety of information, which may be obtained, will be discussed on the background of recent studies reported in the literature. Special emphasis will be given to studies of hydrodesulfurization catalysts since Mössbauer spectroscopy studies have allowed one to disclose the nature of the active phase in these industrially very important catalysts.
