[The Application of X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy on Refining Catalyst].

Abstract XPS analysis provides qualitative, quantitative and chemical state information for surface elements of solid materials. Therefore, XPS is widely applied in the characterization of refining catalyst. In the present paper, the applications of XPS in the field of typical refining catalysts, including hydrogenation catalyst, S Zorb sorbent and rare-earth modified Y zeolite, are illustrated and exemplified.

[Laser Raman spectra study on Co-Mo/Al2O3 hydrodesulphurization catalysts].

Due to the implementation of more stringent specifications in sulfur content for gasoline , a deep understanding of the active phase of Co-Mo/Al2O3 catalysts is necessary to the development of hydrodesulphurization (HDS) catalysts. A series of Co-Mo/Al2O3 HDS catalysts with different metal loading were studied by laser Raman spectra. The existence form and the content of the active component of the catalyst were obtained by Raman spectra.

[In situ FTIR and XPS study on selective hydrodesulfurization catalyst of FCC gasoline].

Improvement of the selectivity of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) for hydrogenation (HYD) of olefins is crucial to produce sulfur-free (S < 0.001%) gasoline from fluid catalytic-cracked (FCC) gasoline. A series of sulfided CoMo/Al2O3 catalysts with different metal loading were prepared by pore-filling impregnation.

[In-situ FTIR study of CO adsorption on Co-Mo/Al2O3 hydrodesulphurization catalysts].

Due to the implementation of more stringent specifications in sulfur content for diesel oil, a deep understanding of the active phase of Co-Mo/Al2O3 catalysts is necessary to the development of ultra-deep hydrodesulphurization (HYD) catalysts. A series of reductive Co-Mo/Al2O3 catalysts prepared in the lab and the high-active industrial catalyst (G) were studied by in-situ FTIR using CO as probe molecule. The showed a good relationship with the desulphurization activities of the catalysts.
