“…During sulfidation the cobalt citrate is destroyed with migration of cobalt atoms to the edges of multilayer slabs of CoMoS phase in statu nascendi and partially to formation of separated cobalt sulfide, such as Co 9 S 8 , and besides, small amount of coke up to 1.5 wt.% (Table 1) are obtained from citrate molecules. In [13] we have already shown that the use of intermediate carbon carrier placed between alumina and active phase allowed to increase the stacking number of active phase and catalysts activity. Recently, other authors have indicated [47,59,60] the carbon residual species formation, when chelating agents or organic additives were used in catalysts preparation.…”
