Title: Supported carbon-containing molybdenum and tungsten sulfide catalysts, their preparation and use

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7024671

A supported carbon-containing molybdenum sulfide and tungsten sulfide catalyst useful for conducting methanation and hydrotreating reactions, principally the latter, can be formed by compositing a preselected quantity of a porous, refractory inorganic oxide with a complex salt characterized by the formula B /SUB x/ (MO /SUB y/ S/sub 4/- /SUB y/ ) where B is an organo or hydrocarbyl substituted diammonium ion, an organo or hydrocarbyl substituted ammonium ion or quaternary ammonium ion, or an ionic form of a cyclic amine containing one or more basic N atoms, x is 1 where B is an organo or hydrocarbyl substituted diammonium ion, or 2 where B is an organo or hydrocarbyl substituted ammonium or quaternary ammonium ion or an ionic form of a cyclic amine containing one or more basic N atoms, M is molybdenum or tungsten, and y is O, or a fraction or whole number ranging up to 3, and heat decomposing the salt of said catalyst precursor composite in the presence of hydrogen, hydrocarbon and sulfur to form said supported carbon-containing molybdenum sulfide or tungsten sulfide catalyst.
