In this study, the effect of pyridine as a basic nitrogen compound on HDS activity of DBT and 4,6 DMDBT in treated diesel over modified CoMo/Al2O3 by citric acid has been investigated. It has been obviously found that the modification of CoMo/Al2O3 catalyst by citric acid can inhibit the influence of pyridine on HDS activity of DBT and 4,6 DMDBT. This can be explained that when citric acid was applied in the catalyst preparation, the increasing of total amount of acid sites and the enhancement of HDN activity play an important role in the tolerance of pyridine.
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.
