Abstract
Researchers prepared and characterized sulfided ruthenium supported catalysts based on an Al pillared montmorillonite, with different Al contents, using XRD, SBET, TEM, XPS.  These were tested in the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT).
They investigated the role of the Al content in the catalytic activity of RuS2 based catalysts. The activity and selectivity of the catalysts studied in the HDS of DBT suggest that Al pillared montmorillonite could be of interest as a low cost support for this reaction.
