Sonochemical preparation of supported hydrodesulfurization catalysts.

Sonochemical preparation of Co and Ni promoted MoS(2) supported on alumina was achieved by high-intensity ultrasonic irradiation of isodurene solutions containing molybdenum carbonyl, dicobalt octacarbonyl, elemental sulfur, and Al(2)O(3) or Ni-Al(2)O(3) under Ar flow. The sonochemically prepared catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis, XPS, SEM, TEM, and XEDS, and hydrodesulfurizati...

Molecular Modeling of Gas Oil Hydrodesulfurization

The hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process chemistry and reaction network have been modeled at the molecular level. The following sulfur compound types have been considered: mercaptans, sulfides, disulfides, thiophenes (T), benzothiophenes (BT), dibenzothiophenes (DBT), and their alkyl and hydrogenated derivatives. The steric and electronic effects of the alkyl side chain of thiophenic compounds (T...

NiWO4 nanoparticles: a promising catalyst for hydrodesulfurization.

NiWO(4) nanoparticles have been facilely synthesized by a hydrothermal approach, and used as a catalyst for the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene and its derivative 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, showing a significantly higher activity than commercial NiW/Al(2)O(3).
