Abstract

Cobalt‐containing mesoporous smectite‐like material (SM(Co)) was prepared by a hydrothermal method and used as a catalyst for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene. It is active by itself and produces mainly butenes and a small amount of n-butane. When platinum is added to this material, the HDS activity is enhanced by 50%, while the product distribution does not change so much. The platinum‐loaded sample should have two types of active sites, one originally present in the smectite‐like material and the other with platinum, the latter being different in nature from a sample of platinum supported on silica gel. Thus, the SM(Co) and Pt/SM(Co) samples are new types of HDS catalysts.
