Abstract

1. Abstract The aim of this research project is the design and synthesis of optimal monolithic reactors and its use in deep desulfurization. In order to do so, state-of-the-art HDS powder catalysts were first prepared and their activity in thiophene HDS compared to the monolithic catalysts. These monolithic catalysts were prepared from cordierite and coated first with two layers of α-Al 2 O 3 followed by one layer of γ-Al 2 O 3 The coated monoliths were then impregnated with NiMo solutions (optimized for the powder catalysts) and some parameters were optimized (such as impregnation time and drying procedure). Finally, monolithic catalysts with the same characteristics as powder catalysts were obtained.
