The effect of pH in the impregnation process on the phase formation, structure and catalytic potential of Mo–Zn–Al–O catalysts synthesized by the co-precipitation and impregnation method was evaluated. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and N2adsorption technique. The catalytic efficiency of Mo–Zn–Al–O catalysts was evaluated with respect to the degradation of cationic orchid X-BL by wet air oxidation under room conditions. The speciation diagram of Mo species in aqueous solution as a function of pH value was established. At basic pH (pH > 8), MoO42−was the main anionic in the solution. HnMo7O24m−was formed with the decrease of pH values ranging from 8 to 4 due to the combination of H+and Mo7O246−. Molybdenum was present as solid of H2MoO4when pH value was below 4.0. Interestingly, the Mo–Zn–Al–O catalyst prepared under pH = 7 has lower surface texturing values (SBET= 9.9 m2/g andVp= 0.083 cm3/g) than the Mo–Zn–Al–O catalyst prepared under pH = 4 (SBET= 21.6 m2/g andVp= 0.038 cm3/g). However, the Mo–Zn–Al–O catalysts prepared under pH = 7 shows the highest catalytic activity with 94.6% of decolorization and 86.7% of TOC removal efficiency. This highest catalytic activity can be contributed to special Mo species, special crystalline phases, tetrahedral Mo structure and highly dispersed Mo.
