Description
Summary:The structure of CoMo/..gamma..-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ hydrotreating catalysts has been studied by means of in situ EXAFS for the K-edge of molybdenum during the hydrodesulfurization of benzothiophene at 7.3 MPa and 523 K. The results support the assumption that the active phase can be regarded as a MoS/sub 2/ structure. The atomic Co/(Co + Mo) ratio has a strong effect on Mo-S and Mo-Mo coordination numbers as well as on the activity of the catalysts. The most active catalysts seems to be that with the most crystalline active phase. No changes in the structure of the catalysts were observed during reaction and after cooling to room temperature. 12 refs., 7 figs.
