Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of Cracking Functionality of Sulfided (Ni) CoMo/SiO2–ZrO2 Catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic investigation of the hydrocracking activity of Mo, CoMo, and NiMo catalysts as a function of support composition, Mo content, and Co or Ni content on supported ZrO2-SiO2 catalysts of varying composition was carried out in a microcatalytic reactor at 400°C and atmospheric pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of alumina preparation on hydrodemetallization and hydrodesulfurization of Maya crude
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of support preparation (γ-alumina) was compared using different preparation techniques and the results of activity and stability of catalyst protrude distinct contribution of pore size distribution of support which has more capabilities to retain metal deposition as well as better diffusion of complex organo-chelating metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
CoMo/MgO–Al2O3 supported catalysts: An alternative approach to prepare HDS catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, three different supports were prepared with distinct magnesia-alumina ratio x ǫ = MgO/(MgO+Al 2 O 3 ) = 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemical characterization and catalysis on mesoporous Al-HMS supported molybdenum hydrotreating catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, a neutral templating pathway was used to synthesize Al-HMS and Mo, CoMo, NiMo and NiMo catalysts using them as the support, and the results indicated that HMS mesoporous structure has a unique ability to impart higher activities in the supported MoS2 phase through metal support interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Maya crude hydrodemetallization and hydrodesulfurization catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, the activity and deactivation of the catalyst is discussed on the basis of catalyst porosity and deposited metal characterization, and it was found that catalysts for such hydrotreating process are designed with high porosity, considering metal deposition during the reaction and consequently the stability.
