Abstract
Researchers prepared porous ammonium nickel molybdate, a potential precursor for deep hydrodesulfurization catalyst with the formula of (NH4)HNi2(OH)2(MoO4)2, using a high-temperature hydrothermal synthesis method. The unsupported NiMoS catalysts with differing Ni/Mo ratios were prepared from the precursors.
The precursors and catalysts were characterized by nitrogen physisorption, powder XRD, TGDSCMS, HRTEM, SEM and evaluated in the continuous HDS of FCC gas oil. Results suggest that the activities of the catalysts were much higher than that of commercial NiMo/Al2O3. The catalysts derived from the crystalline ammonium nickel molybdate showed much higher catalytic activity than that obtained from amorphous precursor.  Consequently, they could be attractive material system for future applications.
