Afh. Sanders et al., Formation of cobalt-molybdenum sulfides in hydrotreating catalysts: a surface science approach, APPL SURF S, 145, 1999, pp. 380-384
Flat, electrically conducting models of Mo and CoMo sulfides on SiO2 and Al
2O3 have been very successful in elucidating the sulfidation chemistry of t
he oxidic catalyst precursors. In this paper, we show that the model approa
ch enables industrially relevant preparation studies of alumina-supported C
oMoS systems with catalytic turnover and selectivity similar to that of ind
ustrial HDS catalysts. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
