Abstract

Cobalt molybdenum catalysts supported on novel activated carbon-HZSM-5 composites with different mass ratios were prepared by wet-impregnation method and pre-sulfided by CS2. Characterization of these catalysts was done using X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, and scanning electron microscope analytics. Their activity for the hydrodesulfurization reaction of dibenzothiophene was investigated at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 250–400 °C using the fixed-bed reactor with 0.5 g of each powder and pre-sulfided with CS2. The highest conversion of dibenzothiophene at the temperature range of 300–400 °C was obtained for the CoMo/activated carbon-HZSM-5(1:1) catalyst. The best selectivity for cyclohexylbenzene, which is the dominant product according to gas chromatography results, was obtained at all temperatures using CoMo/activated carbon-HZSM-5(3:1) catalyst.
