The effect of ZrO{sub 2}support on dispersion and catalytic functionalities of WS{sub 2} are investigated using oxygen chemisorption, XRD, and surface area measurements. The surface area studies on oxide catalysts indicated that WO{sub 3} is highly dispersed below 6-8 wt% tungsten. Analysis of X-ray diffraction results also led to similar conclusions. Oxygen chemisorption on sulfided catalysts indicated that tungsten is well dispersed below 6-8 wt% in the sulfided state also. From the trends of activity for hydrosulfurization and hydrogenation (HDS and HYD) and oxygen chemisorption variation with W loading it is concluded that oxygen chemisorption is not specific to any one of the functionalities. The variation intrinsic activity with loading in case of HDS and HYD indicated that these two functionalities originate from a different set of sites.
