Desulfurization chemistry on tungsten surfaces

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5774475
Desulfurization on tungsten surfaces was studied by Auger spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption, and infrared spectroscopy. Aliphatic compounds reacted by electrophilic interaction of sulfur with the surface. On sulfided surfaces adsorption occurred by disulfide linkages, but C-S bond scission required vacant metal sites. Thiophene underwent electrophilic attack on the ring at the ..cap alpha..-carbon by metal sites.
