Abstract

Activity and selectivity of carbon supported Mo catalyst was tested in parallel hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of pyridine and hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene in the temperature range 260–350 °C at 2 MPa of hydrogen pressure and compared with that of commercial NiMo-alumina catalyst Shell 324. The main advantages of carbon supported Mo sulfide over commercial NiMo catalyst can be summarized as follows: the markedly higher HDN and better HDS activities normalized to moles of active metals, the lower content of piperidine in the reaction products and the distinctly better selectivity towards HDN reaction.
