Abstract
Ni-MoS2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts are commonly used in hydrotreating to enhance fossil fuel quality. The extensive research on these catalysts reveals a gap in understanding the role of Ni, often underestimated as an inactive sulfide phase or just a MoS2 promoter. In this work, we focused on analyzing whether well-dispersed supported nickel nanoparticles can be active in the hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene. We dispersed Ni by Strong Electrostatic Adsorption (SEA) method across four supports with different types of acidity: silica (~ neutral acidity), γ-Al2O3 (Lewis acidity), H+-Y zeolite, and microporous-mesoporous H+-Y zeolite (both with Brønsted-Lewis acidity). Our findings reveal that Ni is indeed active in dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization, even with alumina and silica as supports, although their catalytic activity declines abruptly in the first hours. Contrastingly, the acid nature of zeolites imparts sustained stability and performance, attributed to robust metal-support interactions. The efficacy of the SEA method and the added mesoporosity in zeolites further amplify catalytic efficiency. Overall, we demonstrate that Ni nanoparticles may perform as a hydrogenating metal in the same manner as noble metals such as Pt and Pd perform in hydrodesulfurization. We discuss some of the probable reasons for such performance and remark on the role of Ni in hydrotreatment.

Mutual inhibition effect of sulfur compounds in the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene, 2-ethylthiophene and benzothiophene ternary mixture. Sci Rep 2021; 11:19053.

Abstract
The hydrodesulphurization of a model component and equimolar ternary mixture of thiophene, 2-ethylthiophene and benzothiophene over sulphided CoMo/γ-Al2O3 and CoMo/γ-Al2O3-Nb2O5 catalysts were investigated in a fixed bed flow reactor. The catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and characterized by textural characteristics, total acidity and chemical species present on the catalysts surface. The characterization results showed that both CoMo/γ-Al2O3-Nb2O5 and sulphided CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts exhibit a mesoporous structure with cylindrical pores open at both ends, evidenced by the IV type adsorption–desorption isotherm with a H1 hysteresis loop and have an average pore diameter between 3 and 4 nm. The chemical species present on the catalysts surface evaluated by XPS indicated that Co2+ and Mo4+ species are present in the sulfide form on both catalysts surfaces. In addition, there are also found oxidic species arising from incomplete reduction and sulphidation. The presence of niobium oxide in the catalytic support had a positive effect in leading to higher specific surface area (170 m2/g) and total acidity (0.421 meq/g) compared with CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst (140 m2/g and 0.283 meq/g) respectively. The evaluation results from the hydrodesulfurization showed that CoMo/γ-Al2O3-Nb2O5 catalyst had a higher activity in hydrodesulphurization process of thiophene, 2-ethylthiophene and benzothiophene. The CoMo/γ-Al2O3-Nb2O5 catalyst eliminated sulfur from the single component feed (corresponding to 2380 ppm S) and reduced below 10 ppm, for the feed consisting in the equimolar ternary mixture of thiophene, 2-ethylthiophene and benzothiophene (2380 ppm S). The reactivity of thiophen compounds was reduced due to competitive adsorption. It was observed that benzothiophene inhibits the transformation of thiophene and 2-ethylthiophene. A mutual inhibition effect between sulfur compounds was also observed when thiophene, 2-ethylthiophene and benzothiophene were combined and tested over the CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The inhibition effect had a lower intensity by introducing Nb2O5 in the catalyst support.

Abstract
The same amount of metal was deposited on the surface of three-dimensional mesoporous MCM-48 by a facile impregnation-calcination method for catalytic ozonation of pharmaceutical and personal-care products in the liquid phase. At 120 min reaction time, Co/MCM-48 and Ce/MCM-48 showed 46.6 and 63.8% mineralization for clofibric acid (CA) degradation, respectively. Less than 33% mineralization was achieved with Co/MCM-48 and Ce/MCM-48 during sulfamethazine (SMZ) ozonation. In the presence of monometallic oxides modified MCM-48 catalysts, total organic carbon (TOC) removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF) was around 80%. The composite Co-Ce/MCM-48 catalyst exhibited significantly higher activity in terms of TOC removal of CA (83.6%), SMZ (51.7%) and DCF (86.8%). Co-Ce/MCM-48 inhibited efficiently the accumulation of small molecular carboxyl acids during ozonation. A detailed research was conducted to detect the nature of material structure and mechanism of catalytic ozonation by using a series of characterizations. The main reaction pathway of CA was determined by the analysis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, in line with the results of frontier electron density calculations that reactive oxygen species (ROSs) were easy to attack negative regions of pharmaceuticals. The Si-O-Si, Co···HO-Si-O-Si-OH···Ce, and O3···Co-HO-Si-O-Si-OH···Ce-OH···O3 basic units in catalysts were constructed to detect the orbit-energy-level difference. The results revealed that a synergistic effect existed at the interface between cobalt and cerium oxides over MCM-48, which facilitated the ROSs sequence in solution with ozone. Therefore, the multivalence redox coupling of Ce4+/Ce3+ and Co3+/Co2+ along with electron transfer played an important role in catalytic ozonation process.

Abstract
Sulfur compounds in fuel oils are a major source of atmospheric pollution. This study is focused on the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) via the coupled application of 0.5 wt% Pd-loaded Co–Mo/Al2O3 and Ni–Mo/Al2O3 catalysts with ionic liquids (ILs) at ambient temperature (120 °C) and pressure (1 MPa H2). The enhanced HDS activity of the solid catalysts coupled with [BMIM]BF4, [(CH3)4N]Cl, [EMIM]AlCl4, and [(n-C8H17)(C4H9)3P]Br was credited to the synergism between hydrogenation by the former and extractive desulfurization and better H2 transport by the latter, which was confirmed by DFT simulation. The Pd-loaded catalysts ranked highest by activity i.e. Pd–Ni–Mo/Al2O3 > Pd–Co–Mo/Al2O3 > Ni–Mo/Al2O3 > Co–Mo/Al2O3. With mild experimental conditions of 1 MPa H2 pressure and 120 °C temperature and an oil : IL ratio of 10 : 3.3, DBT conversion was enhanced from 21% (by blank Ni–Mo/Al2O3) to 70% by Pd–Ni–Mo/Al2O3 coupled with [(n-C8H17)(C4H9)3P]Br. The interaction of polarizable delocalized bonds (in DBT) and van der Waals forces influenced the higher solubility in ILs and hence led to higher DBT conversion. The IL was recycled four times with minimal loss of activity. Fresh and spent catalysts were characterized by FESEM, ICP-MS, EDX, XRD, XPS and BET surface area techniques. GC-MS analysis revealed biphenyl as the major HDS product. This study presents a considerable advance to the classical HDS processes in terms of mild operating conditions, cost-effectiveness, and simplified mechanization, and hence can be envisaged as an alternative approach for fuel oil processing. Synergistic application of ionic liquids with Pd loaded Co–Mo@Al2O3 and Ni–Mo@Al2O3 catalysts for efficient hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene at ambient conditions.![]()
