β/SBA-16 (BS) materials were fabricated using β-nanoclusters through self-assembly hydrothermal crystallization approach; subsequently, the corresponding NiMo/BS catalysts were synthesized. The influence of HCl concentration on the physicochemical properties of the composite support and the corresponding catalyst was investigated by a series of characterization methods. The hydrodesulfurization (HDS) performances were evaluated under the conditions of T = 340 °C, P H 2 = 4 MPa, and H 2 /oil (v/v) = 200 by adopting dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) as probe reactants. The results indicated that NiMo/BS-1.5 prepared under the HCl concentration of 1.5 mol L −1 exhibited the superior HDS performance due to its well-ordered shape and pore channel, high sulfidation degree, moderate acidity, and suitable metal−support interaction (MSI). In addition, the potential HDS reaction networks for DBT and 4,6-DMDBT of series NiMo/BS were presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
