The hydrocracking and hydrodesulfurization(HDS) of n-heptane containing 0.2mole% dibenzothiophene (DBT) were performed simultaneously using NiPtMo catalysts supported on HZSM-5, LaY and r-Al₂O₃ in a high pressure fixed bed reactor. Molybdenum played an important role in both hydrocracking and hydrodesulfurization(HDS). We found that the sulfur compound, dibenzothiophene (DBT), in the reactant was adsorbed on a Molybdenum site and converted to hydrogen sulfide so that the active sites of the catalysts for hydrocracking were less poisoned by DBT and the conversion of n-heptane over molybdenum impregnated catalyst was higher than that over molybdenum-free catalyst. The crystal structures of the molybdenum supported on the zeolite and r-Al₂O₃ were mainly MoO_2.5(OH)_0.5[021] and MoO₃[210] respectively as shown by XRD analysis. The structure of MoO_2.5(OH)_0.5 was easily reduced to MoS₂[003] during the reaction. After the reaction of 100 hours over the catalyst supported on r-Al₂O₃, the crystal structure of MoO₃[210] partially changed to MoO₃[300] and the structure of MoS₂[003] was not observed. Because of the reactant shape selectivity of zeolite, the acid and the metal sites in the intracrystalline of the catalysts supported on zeolites were less poisoned by DBT. Therefore, both hydrocracking and HDS using n-heptane containing 0.2mole% of DBT were successfully demonstrated over the prepared catalysts.
