Abstract

A series of SBA-15-type materials modified with Al, Ti, and Zr were prepared and used as supports for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts based on NiW. Prepared supports and catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, small- and wide-angle XRD, UV–Vis DRS, FT-IR, IEP, TPR, TPD, HRTEM, and SEM–EDX. Sulfided catalysts were evaluated in HDS of dibenzothiophene (DBT). Catalytic activity tests show that the creation of defined anchoring points for the W species by modifying the surface of SBA-15 with Al, Ti, and Zr results in a considerable improvement in catalysts’ performance compared to pure SBA-supported analog. The possible reasons for this behavior are discussed.
