Abstract

CoMo on Al2O3 catalyst prepared by spray pyrolysis method was found in the form of spheres of 0.5-1.2 μm, which consisted of tiny primary particles of ca. 10-20nm diameter. The materials shows comparable activity to those of commercial catalysts in HDS of straight run gas oil, in particular, refractory 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). Weaker interactions between CoMo and Al2O3 are suggested by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), Raman spectroscopy, to give more active species than those over the impregnated catalysts. This accounts for its comparable activity in spite of its smaller surface area.
