Abstract

The activities of a Pd catalyst supported on mesoporous Beta zeolite (Beta-H) were evaluated for the hydrogenation of naphthalene and pyrene in the absence and presence of 200-ppm sulfur and for the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of 4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4, 6-DMDBT). Compared with Pd/Al-MCM-41, the Pd/Beta-H catalyst exhibited better sulfur tolerance for hydrogenation of naphthalene and pyrene and higher activity for HDS of 4, 6- ...
