McCarty, K F; Schrader, G L

Chevrel phase compounds (M/sub X/Mo/sub 6/S/sub 8/) have been investigated for activity for the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene at 400/sup 0/C. Catalysts with ternary metals such as Co, Fe, Pb, Cu, and Ho were found to have comparable or greater activity for desulfurization compared to typical model industrial catalysts. Hydrogenation activity for 1-butene was relatively low.
