In the present study, a series of monometallic Cu/SiO2-Al2O3 catalysts exhibited immense potential in the hydroprocessing of oleic acid to produce jet-fuel range hydrocarbons. The synergistic effect of Fe on the monometallic Cu/SiO2-Al2O3 catalysts of variable Cu loadings (5–15 wt%) was ascertained by varying Fe contents in the range of 1–5 wt% on the optimized 13% Cu/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst. At 340 °C and 2.07 MPa H2 pressure, the jet-fuel range hydrocarbons yield and selectivities of 51.8% and 53.8%, respectively, were recorded for the Fe(3)-Cu(13)/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst. To investigate the influence of acidity of support on the cracking of oleic acid, ZSM-5 (Zeolite Socony Mobil–5) and HZSM-5(Protonated Zeolite Socony Mobil–5)-supported 3% Fe-13% Cu were also evaluated at 300–340 °C and 2.07 MPa H2 pressure. Extensive techniques including N2 sorption analysis, pyridine- Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Pyridine-FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and H2-Temperature Programmed Reduction (H2-TPR) analyses were used to characterize the materials. XPS analysis revealed the existence of Cu1+ phase in the Fe(3)-Cu(13)/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst, while Cu metal was predominant in both the ZSM-5 and HZSM-5-supported FeCu catalysts. The lowest crystallite size of Fe(3)-Cu(13)/SiO2-Al2O3 was confirmed by XRD, indicating high metal dispersion and corroborated by the weakest metal–support interaction revealed from the TPR profile of this catalyst. CO chemisorption also confirmed high metal dispersion (8.4%) for the Fe(3)-Cu(13)/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst. The lowest and mildest Brønsted/Lewis acid sites ratio was recorded from the pyridine–FTIR analysis for this catalyst. The highest jet-fuel range hydrocarbons yield of 59.5% and 73.6% selectivity were recorded for the Fe(3)-Cu(13)/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst evaluated at 300 °C and 2.07 MPa H2 pressure, which can be attributed to its desirable textural properties, high oxophilic iron content, high metal dispersion and mild Brønsted acid sites present in this catalyst.

ABSTRACTChemical reactions of metals and strongly interacting alloys such as Cu-Mn, Ni-Ti, Ni-Hf and Ni-Zr with oxygen and hydrogen play important roles in the preparation, activation, and regeneration of many important heterogeneous catalytic systems involving supported and unsupported metals and alloys. Recent advances in the understanding of metal and alloy oxidation is bringing new insight into the reactive design and activation of bi- and multi-metallic catalysts. By surface studies of oxidation, thermal annealing and reduction of selected alloys and their thin films and reaction layers and products we have been able to delineate the factors which are most important to the oxide formation processes and the oxide reduction processes. Reaction models developed from these results are permitting the design of new catalyst systems and providing long sought understanding to explain specific aspects of well established metallic catalysts.

The hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of thiophenes was performed on metallic catalyst CoMoRe/ZSM5-gAl2O3. Experiments were carried out on a fixed bed catalytic reactor at 175-300�C, 30-60 atm, thiophene volume hourly space velocities of 1h-1- 4h-1 and molar ratio hydrogen/thiophene of 60/1. Texture features like specific surface area, the pore volume and the average pore diameter decrease after catalyst sulfurization. The thiophenes conversion on CoMoRe/gAl2O3-Zn-HZSM 5 catalyst differs with the nature of the studied thiophenes.
