Abstract: | A commercial Co---Mo/Al2O3 catalyst was labeled with the radioisotope 35S in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of 35S-labeled dibenzothiophene (35S-DBT) in a high-pressure flow reactor at 50 kg/cm2. Then, HDS of 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) or sulfur exchange of H2S were carried out on the labeled catalyst at 50 kg/cm2 and 260–360°C. The amounts of labile sulfur participating in the reaction were determined from the radioactivity of 35S---H2S released from the 35S-labeled catalyst. In the HDS reactions, the amount of labile sulfur participating in the reaction decreased in the order: DBT> 4-MDBT> 4,6-DMDBT. In the sulfur exchange reaction with H2S, the adsorption of H2S on the catalyst reached saturation above a H2S partial pressure of 0.36 kg/cm2. It was suggested that the release of H2S from the labile sulfur may be the rate determining step of the HDS reaction. |
