Hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene, 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, and their hydrogenated intermediates over Ni–MoS2/y-Al2O3
Abstract.
The rate constants of all reaction steps in the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4,6-
dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT), and their tetra- and hexahydro intermediates TH(DM)DBT and
HH(DM)DBT over Ni–MoS2/y-Al2O3 were determined. DBT, THDBT, DMDBT, and THDMDBT underwent
desulfurization by hydrogenolysis of both C–S bonds, while HHDBT and HHDMDBT underwent desulfurization
by cleavage of the aryl C–S bond by hydrogenolysis, followed by cleavage of the cycloalkyl C–S
bond by elimination as well as by hydrogenolysis. Ni promoted the C–S bond breakage of DBT, THDBT,
and HHDBT strongly, but promoted the (de)hydrogenation only weakly. The methyl groups suppressed
the desulfurization in the order DMDBT > THDMDBT > HHDMDBT and promoted hydrogenation.
These different degrees of steric hindrance are due to the hydrogenation of a phenyl ring, which
makes the THDBT and HHDBT rings flexible. H2S strongly inhibited the desulfurization rates in the
order (DM)DBT > TH(DM)DBT > HH(DM)DBT, but inhibited the (de)hydrogenation rates only slightly.
2-Methylpiperidine inhibited the hydrogenation of all molecules.
