A series
of Ni–Mo–W slurry catalysts were prepared by a novel
complete liquid-phase method and tested for diesel ultradeep hydrodesulfurization
(HDS) in a slurry bed reactor. Results showed that Ni–Mo–W
catalysts prepared by this novel method exhibited a relatively high
HDS efficiency, reaching approximately 96%. Characterization results
showed that a suitable amount of W was beneficial for the dispersion
of MoS2 species and the production of small particles.
Meanwhile, the catalysts incorporating a suitable amount of W had
a shorter slab length and more stacking number of MS2,
which would enhance the HDS activity. It was also found that HDS efficiency
was closely related to (Ni + Mo + W)/(Ti + Al) atomic ratios on the
catalyst surface. The incorporation of a suitable amount of W was
beneficial for the HDS reproduction, and the best catalytic performance
was obtained when the Ni/W atomic ratio was 1:0.5.
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.
