Catalytic Performance and IR Characterization of Co-Mo/Al2O3 and Ru-Co-Mo/Al2O3 Catalysts in Hydrodesulfurization

Recently, owing to high costs and increasing demands for better catalysts, it is worthwhile to improve its activity and selectivity, and reduce its costs. Adding secondary promoters such as phosphorus, boron, magnesium, titanium, zinc and ruthenium to Co-Mo/Al;O;catalyst has been proved to be one of the ways to attain this result. The addition of those metals or metal oxides changes the surface states of molybdenumstructure.
