Abstract
The catalytic activities of sulfidized Al-Ni-Mo catalysts, synthesized by different methods, were compared in the hydrogenation reaction of o-xylene, hydrode-sulfurization of thiophene, and hydrodenitrogenation of piperidine. It was found that irrespective of the method of the preparation of the catalysts, the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring preferentially proceeds on the sulfidation products of Ni and Mo compounds, weakly bound to the carrier (nickel isopolymolybdates and aluminomolybdates), removable by aqueous extraction, while the hydrogenolysis reactions of thiophene and piperidine are preferentially carried on the sulfidation products of compounds which are strongly bound to the carrier (of the surface aluminum molybdate and nickel aluminate type).
