“…N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms of the NMFG (∆) and NMAS (□) catalysts T A B L E 2 Acidity measurement of understudy support and catalysts the deactivation rate of catalyst during HDC process.The XRD pattern of NMAS, GNS, and NMFG catalysts are displayed inFigure 3. As observed, two diffraction peaks that appeared at 2 of 46.4 • and 66.2 • can be attributed to alumina,22,[25][26][27][28][29] whereas diffraction peaks located at 2 of 23.3 • , 25.5 • , 27.2 • , and 33.6 • are assigned to MoO 3 . Furthermore, the diffraction peaks observed at 2 of 37.3 • , 43.4 • , and 60.67 • are attributed to NiO.As shown inFigure 3, a prominent reflection at 2 of 26 • and a weak peak at 2 of 43 • can be assigned to the graphiticF I G U R E 3 XRD patterns of NMAS and sulfided NMFG catalysts carbon (planes 0 0 2 and 1 0 0, respectively).…”
