The transition metals V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, W, Re, Os, Ir and Pt were deposited from aqueous solutions of their salts onto conventional γ-Al2O3 and unconventional TiO2 and ZrO2 supports by vacuum impregnation and characterized in their sulfided form by a model reaction of benzothiophene hydrodesulfurization. It was found that the TiO2 and ZrO2 supports influenced predominantly positively the resulting activity of relatively low-active metals (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, Ru, W and Os), whereas the highly active metals (Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt and Re) were influenced slightly negatively or not at all by those supports compared with the γ-Al2O3-supported system. A significant effect of the supports on the hydrodesulfurization-activity ranking of the transition-metal sulfides studied was ascertained.

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodearomatization (HYD) activities of carbon-supported sulfides of V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, W, Re, Ir, and Pt, and of the commercial Co-Mo/Al2O3 catalysts were evaluated. Simultaneous hydrodesulfurization of benzothiophene and hydrogenation of naphthalene to tetralin at pressure of 2 MPa were used as the model reaction. Platinum group metal sulfides and Re sulfide exhibited the highest HDS activity and Pd and Rh sulfides reached the activity of a good commercial Ni-Mo catalyst. Tha catalysts strongly differed in the selectivity of dihydrobenzothiophene formation during HDS; up to 55% of dihydrobenzothiophene was obtained over W sulfide, while Rh, Ni, Co-Mo and Ni-Mo catalysts produced less than 8% of it. The highest HYD activity exhibited platinum group metal sulfides; the best were Ir and Pt sulfides which were four times and three times more active than the commercial Ni-Mo catalyst, respectively. The selectivity HDA/HDS depend strongly on the type of transition metal. The sulfides of W, Ir and Pt were much more selective for HYD than the Ni-Mo catalyst, and the Co-Mo sample showed by far the lowest HDA/HDS selectivity.
