Abstract
Flower-like Al2O3 materials were successfully incorporated by TS-1 nanocrystals to synthesize Flower-like TS-1-Al2O3 (FTA) micro-mesoporous composite by a facile nano self-assembly method. FTA supported NiMo bimetallic catalysts (NiMo/FTA) were further constructed and applied to the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reactions for dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). FTA composites were constructed from flower-like pore structures stacked with nanosheets, which are conducive to the even load and dispersion of active species and the diffusion of macromolecular sulfur-containing compounds with relatively low resistance. The fabrication of TS-1 nanocrystals effectively enhanced the acidic sites, regulated the metal-support interaction, which could increase the stacking layer of MoS2 slabs, and producing more NiMoS-II type active phase. NiMo/FTA-10 presented the excellent HDS conversion of DBT (99.3 %) and 4,6-DMDBT (93.2 %) at 10 h−1, the highest reaction rate constant (2.6 × 10-7 mol g−1 s−1) and turnover frequency values (6.7 × 10-4 s−1) for 4,6-DMDBT HDS reaction. Compared to the direct desulfurization route (DDS), hydrogenation route (HYD) and isomerization route (ISO) can effectively eliminate the steric hindrance of 4,6-DMDBT, which is more conducive to the HDS reaction.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
