Hydrodesulfurization of Different Feeds on CoMo/Al2O3 Catalyst Prepared Using Cobalt Heteropolyoxomolybdate

Abstract

CoMo/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by impregnation of alumina support with cobalt heteropolyoxomolybdate was tested in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene, 1-benzothiophene, or light gas oil under various reaction conditions and reactor arrangements. Its physicochemical properties are also examined. The obtained data are compared with those of two industrial HDS catalysts.
