The role of 3D alumina foam support on the formation and dispersion of active NiMoS phase for hydrodesulfurization application
2020
The
role of 3D alumina foam support (Al-F) and titania-modified
alumina foam support (Al-F-Ti-X, where X represents the weight ratio of Al-F/TiO2) on the dispersion
and catalytic activity of NiMo metals in the hydrodesulfurization
(HDS) reaction of dibenzothiophene was studied in a batch reactor.
The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption desorption isotherm, field emission scanning electron
microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,
temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), transmission electron microscopy
(TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Al-F and Al-F-Ti-10
dispersed the active metals better than the other supports, and more
MoS2 was formed on the Al-F-Ti-10 support. TiO2 incorporation into Al-F decreased its surface area but also increased
its surface acidity. The Al-F catalyst exhibited a relatively higher
HDS activity (81% DBT conversion) over the conventional γ-Al2O3-supported NiMo catalyst (72% conversion). The
modified Al-F-Ti-10 catalyst demonstrated the highest HDS activity
of 97% DBT conversion after 4 h of reaction.
