Abstract
The processes of reduction and sulphidation of an industrial Co-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst have been studied by means of gravimetric and kinetic methods at atmospheric pressure. The effect of the pretreatment temperature on the catalytic activity for ethylene hydrogenation and thiophene hydrodesulphurization has been studied. Two types of active centres, for hydrogenation and for hydrodesulphurization, have been characterized on the basis of their different properties.
