Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorous-doped NiMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared using ethylene glycol (EG) as additive was tested in the hydrotreating of straight-run gas oil. The organic agent was diluted in the impregnation solution obtained by the dissolving of MoO3 and Ni(OH)2 in water solution of H3PO4. The TEM data confirmed that the procedures used in catalyst preparation and sulfidation ensure the formation of highly dispersed NiMoS nanoparticles. As determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the addition of EG leads to the formation of sulfide catalyst with a higher dispersion of Mo on the surface. Accordingly, the catalyst with EG is more active in hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation of straight-run gas oil than the catalyst prepared without one.
