Two different kinds of vacuum gas oils have been hydrodesulfurized and hydrogen consumption has been measured by means of three procedures. It has been proposed that the convenient procedure based on the measurements of the changes in aromatic carbon content in the oil by n-d-M analysis is sufficiently applicable to the measurements of hydrogen consumption.
Reaction kinetics has also been studied, and the apparent reaction order has been found to vary with change in the reaction temperature.
