Isomerization of Linear Paraffin Hydrocarbons in the Presence of Sulfide CoMo and NiW Catalysts on Al2O3—SAPO-11 Support

Abstract

Supported CoMoS and NiWS catalysts were synthesized on the basis of an Al₂O₃—SAPO-11 composite support. The acid and texture characteristics of the thus synthesized materials were examined. The morphologies of the active sulfide phase of the catalysts were compared. The kinetic properties of the supported sulfide catalysts in the reaction of hydroisomerization of n-hexadecane and in the hydroprocessing of the diesel fraction were examined. It was shown that it is possible to obtain hydrogenates with improved low-temperature properties in the presence of supported sulfide catalysts containing no noble metals.
