Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity and activation energy (e 0 TH ) values were determined and compared with irreversible sulfur uptake (S irr ) by 5 Al 2 O 3 -supported (MoO x , Ni and three NiMoO x ) catalysts and, in unsulfided form with the cyclohexane conversion activity. Synergy between Ni and Mo in catalytic activity and a correlation between HDS activity and the amounts of S irr was found. Some explanations for the differences in catalytic behavior of the different samples are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
