Abstract
This paper presents a study on the effect of the Ni–Mo–W precursor calcination (300, 450 and 500 ◦C) on properties of granulated bulk Ni–Mo–W catalysts. The Ni–Mo–W precursor and bulk catalysts were studied by XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption method, CHNS analysis, thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis DR spectroscopy, HRTEM and XPS. It is shown that the increase in calcination temperature of the precursor to 500 ◦C leads to stepwise decomposition of citric acid, transformation of active metals and re-structurization of the samples. Active metals in sulfide catalysts are present in the bulk mixed or individual sulfides and interact with alumina binder to form “NiMoS-like” sulfide phase. Increased crystallinity of the precursor results in the enlargement of bulk nickel particles, capsulation of Mo and W and their rounding by Ni atoms. Catalysts testing in hydrotreatment of SRVGO demonstrates that the best choice of temperature regimes is 300 ◦C for the precursor.
Supporting agencies: The study was funded by the Russian Science Foundation according to the research project No. 22-73-10144 (https://rscf.ru/en/project/22-73-10144/).
