In Situ EXAFS Studies on Ni2P Hydrodesulfurization Catalysts in the Presence of High Pressure and High Temperature Oil
Abstract
A Ni2P/SiO2 catalyst that is highly active for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reaction was studied by in situ extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) under the real reaction conditions. The measurements were conducted at realistic conditions of high pressure (3 MPa) and high temperature (613 K) in the presence of model oil. We used a low-volume cell with cubic boron nitride windows. The obtained spectra revealed that the bulk Ni2P structure was stable at reaction conditions and that the active surface had Ni-S bonds under reaction conditions, which played an important role for HDS reactions.

Bifunctional Nature of a SiO2-Supported Ni2P Catalyst for Hydrotreating: EXAFS and FTIR Studies
A Ni{sub 2}P catalyst supported on a high-surface area SiO{sub 2} (350 m{sup 2} g{sub -1}) was prepared by temperature-programmed reduction, and its structural and surface properties were studied. X-ray diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements were used to obtain structural parameters for the supported Ni{sub 2}P phase, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis with the probe molecules CO and pyridine was carried out to characterize the surface properties. The catalytic activity was measured at 573 K and 3.1 MPa in a three-phase fixed-bed reactor for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) using a model liquid feed.

In situ Moessbauer emission spectroscopy studies of unsupported and supported sulfided Co-Mo hydrodesulfurization catalysts: evidence for and nature of a Co-Mo-S phase
Information regarding the structure and type of phases present in sulfided alumina-supported, as well as unsupported, Co-Mo catalysts is obtained from in situ Moessbauer emission spectroscopy (MES) studies. The results give the first direct evidence of the presence of a Co-Mo-S phase in alumina-supported and unsupported catalysts with similar Co/Mo ratios. Information regarding the nature of the Co-Mo-S phase is obtained from a detailed study of the Moessbauer parameters, their temperature dependence, and their sensitivity to changes in the gaseous environment. Previously proposed structural models cannot explain all the observed features of the Co-Mo-S phase. It is proposed that inmore » -
Catalytic significance of a Co-Mo-S phase in Co-Mo/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ hydrodesulfurization catalysts: combined in situ Moessbauer emission spectroscopy and activity studies
A series of sulfided Co-Mo/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ catalysts with different Co/Mo ratios but with constant molybdenum content is investigated. The catalysts are characterized by in situ Moessbauer emission spectroscopy (MES) and investigated for their thiophene hydrodesulfurization activity. The catalytic activity shows a pronounced maximum at a Co/Mo ratio of about 1.0. The MES spectra reveal that cobalt may be present in three distinctly different phases: cobalt located in the alumina lattice (Co:Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/), cobalt in Co/sub 9/S/sub 8/, and cobalt located in the Co-Mo-S surface phase discussed in the preceeding paper. It is found that the relative amounts ofmore »
