Abstract
A series of Mo/MgO catalysts with loadings ranging from 2–12 wt% Mo were studied by oxygen chemisorption, X-ray diffraction and activity for thiophene hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reaction. The results obtained from the above measurements are compared with those on Mo/-γ-Al2O3. These results indicated that molybdenum is better dispersed on MgO. Hydrodesulfurization activity per g. Mo is found to be higher in the case of Mo/MgO. The higher activities are attributed to the increase in dispersion of Mo on MgO. A linear correlation is obtained between oxygen chemisorption and HDS activity. The parallelism between HDS and oxygen chemisorption is explained.
