Abstract
The activation energy values of cyclohexane dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis on alumina supported Ni, MoOx and three NiMoOx samples of different Ni:Mo ratio have been determined. Applying these values and the activation energies determined before for thiophene hydrodesulfurization on these catalysts, the C-Cat, H-Cat and S-Cat bond strengths were calculated. The bond strengths C-Cat and S-Cat are significantly higher for the samples of higher catalytic activity [NiMo(0.35) and NiMo(0.6)] in comparison with those of the less active ones [NiMo(0.15) and Ni12]. Compensation plots between Arrhenius constants indicate equal site distribution for the three reactions.
