Thiophene hydrodesulfurization and butene hydrogenation have been determined for MOO&-A1203, WOJ-y-A&OS, and RezO,/y-A&O3 catalysts, using a micro-flow reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. Catalysts have been prepared by various methods, viz., ion exchange, gas-phase adsorption, dry and wet impregnation of y-Al2O3 as well as impregnation of boehmite. The catalysts have been prepared on a surface coverage basis.The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area and pore volume measurements, and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). Moody-Al,O, and WO&-A1203 catalysts prepared by dry and wet impregnation give essentially the same results.A correlation exists between the reducibility of oxidic Moody-Al,O, and WOJy-A&O3 catalysts prepared by dry and wet impregnation, and the hydrodesulfurization activity of the sulfided samples. The higher the reducibility, the higher the hydrodesul...
