Abstract

Cordierite monolithic catalysts were prepared by loading the industrial hydrodesulfurization catalyst FHUDS. The structure of the catalysts was characterized by means of XRD, N-2 adsorption/desorption measurements, SEM and XPS. Theircatalytic performance in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) was evaluated in a fixed bed reactor by taking thiophene hydrodesulfurization as a model reaction. The results indicated that the surface area of cordierite was increased and Al3+and Mg2+ ions were removed from the silicate structure by acid pretreatment, but the crystal structure of the cordierite was unchanged. The performance of the monolithic catalysts was influenced by the pretreatment conditions of the cordierite, the coating pH value and the hole extender. Under conditions giving cordierite with the required mechanical properties, increasing concentrations of acid and longer boiling times led to better catalyst coating properties and catalytic performance in hydrodesulfurization. It was found that the monolithic catalysts loaded with the active colloid at pH 3, prepared with cordierite boiled for 4?h with 50% oxalic acid exhibited the highest HDS activity, with the conversion of thiophene reaching 95% at 350?℃. The catalyst performance was enhanced by theaddition of appropriate amounts of urea to the colloid, with the conversion of thiophene increasing from 66% to 77% at 300?℃, and from 78% to 91% at 325℃.
