Three-dimensionally ordered macro-mesoporous CoMo bulk catalysts with superior performance in hydrodesulfurization of thiophene.

ABSTRACT: The introduction of surfactants during the fabrication of hydrodesulfurization catalysts could not only tune the microstructure but also promote the dispersion of active components. In this work, CoMo bulk catalysts with the hierarchical structure of three-dimensionally ordered macro-mesopores were successfully fabricated by using a colloidal crystal template with the addition of PEG 400 and/or F127 surfactants. The obtained samples were characterized by various techniques, and the possible mechanism of the structure formation was also discussed. The characterization and evaluation results reveal that the addition of surfactants can promote the formation of the mesopores (3-4 nm) inside the macroporous walls of these bulk catalysts, which is essential for the increase of catalyst surface a
