Abstract

Nickel-tungsten sulfide nanocatalysts for the hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons (HCs) have been prepared by the in situ decomposition of a nickel thiotungstate precursor in a HC feedstock using 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium nickel thiotungstate complex [BMPip]2Ni[WS4]2 as the precursor. The in situ synthesized particles have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It has been shown that the resulting Ni-W-S particles are nanoplates associated in multilayer agglomerates; the average length of the Ni-W-S particles is 6 nm; the average number of layers in the multilayer packaging is three. The catalytic activity of the synthesized catalysts has been studied in the hydrogenation of model mixtures of mono- and bicyclic aromatic HCs and in the conversion of dibenzothiophene in a batch reactor at a temperature of 350°C and a hydrogen pressure of 5.0 MPa. It has been shown that the studied catalysts can be used for the hydrofining of light cycle oil.
