Abstract

Alumina-supported bimetallic (Co3Mo3N/Al2O3” and promoted (Co–Mo2N/Al2O3) nitride catalysts have been prepared and characterized. Thiophene hydrodesulfurization (HDS) measurements show that the Co3Mo3N/Al2O3 and Co–Mo2N/Al2O3 catalysts are significantly more active than a Mo2N/Al2O3) catalyst with the same Mo loading. Furthermore, the Co–Mo2N/Al2O3 catalyst has a substantially higher HDS activity than a sulfided Co–MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst with an identical metal loading.
