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.
