About Molybdenum Octoate 15.5%
Molybdenum 2-ethylhexanoate (molybdenum octoate, Mo Oct, moly octoate) is a red-brown liquid that contains 15.0 – 16.0 wt% molybdenum. Molybdenum carboxylates, specifically molybdenum octoate (Mo Oct, moly octoate), are hydrocarbon-soluble materials able to deliver a high molybdenum concentration to a variety of processes.
About Nickel Nitrate Solution, 15%
Nickel Nitrate Solution (13% and 15%) is used in the preparation of hydroprocessing catalyst products utilized by the refining industry for the removal of nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and sulfur (S). While the term hydroprocessing encompasses a number of reactions, nickel nitrate is included specifically in the reaction that focuses on the removal of sulfur, or hydrodesulfurization.
