In relation to the preceding paper concerning the physicochemical characterization of NiW/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts, the authors have attempted to obtain complementary information by chemical characterizations on the factors which affect the reactivity (hydrogenation vs. hydrogenolysis) of heteroatom-containing molecules and on the nature of the catalytic sites. Such information could be used to improve a catalytic system or to define requirements for the development of new catalysts. For this purpose, they have studied the hydroprocessing of substituted benzenes (O-X, where X = SH, SPh, OH, OPh, NH{sub 2}, NHPh, F, Cl, or Br) which are for the most part postulated or identified intermediates during the course of hydrodesulfurization (HDS), hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) or hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) reactions and which may react through hydrogenation of the aromatic ring or through hydrogenolysis of the C{sub sp{sup 2}}-X bond, depending on the nature of the substituent X.
