Summary: In this study, different SBA-15 supports with varying compositions were used to prepare trimetallic CoMoW and NiMoW catalysts for deep hydrodesulfurization reactions. The addition of titania and zirconia to the supports resulted in higher catalytic activity, particularly for the Ni-promoted samples. Among these catalysts, NiMoW/Zr-SBA-15 showed the highest activity for sulfur removal, with twice the activity compared to NiMoW/SBA-15 analog. The dispersion of metal species on the sulfided NiMoW/Zr-SBA-15 sample was identified as the key factor contributing to its superior activity. Additionally, catalyst selectivity was found to be more dependent on the promoter used rather than the support's chemical composition.

Summary: In this study, a Co4Mo12 crystalline material was isolated from an impregnating solution using a self-assembly strategy. This crystalline Co4Mo12 was then used as a molecular platform to understand the sulfidation process in the construction of a high-performance Co-Mo hydrodesulfurization catalyst. The results show that the crystalline Co4Mo12 precursor can serve as an excellent precursor for the rational design and controllable preparation of HDS active sites.

Summary: A core-shell structured material consisting of a mesoporous aluminosilicate shell and mesopore-containing beta zeolite core was synthesized using triblock copolymer as template. The resulting Ni2P catalyst showed higher reaction rate constant and TOF in quinoline hydrodenitrogenation compared to other supported Ni2P catalysts. The unique properties of the core-shell support contributed to the smaller Ni2P cluster size and enhanced catalytic activity.

Summary: Highly dispersed Ni2P catalysts were prepared from nickel phyllosilicate precursor by the deposition-precipitation method. Si-containing materials were used as supports, and the strong interaction between Ni and Si species effectively prevented aggregation. The resulting Ni2P catalyst showed higher hydrogenation activity due to the strong metal-support interaction, smaller particle size, and higher degree of coordinately unsaturated sites.

Summary: Highly ordered mesoporous TiO2-Al2O3 composite oxides were synthesized via a facile evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method, exhibiting high specific surface area, thermal stability, and narrow pore size distributions. The incorporation of TiO2 effectively weakened the support-metal interactions and promoted the formation of more Type II Ni-Mo-S active phases, which greatly enhanced the hydrodesulfurization catalytic performance. The NiMo/TA-0.4 catalyst showed the highest catalytic activity due to its suitable textural properties, thermal stability, and moderate metal-support interactions.

Summary: The hydrogenation of naphthalene using nickel catalysts on SBA-15 and Al-SBA-15 supports was studied to evaluate the effect of support acidity. Catalysts prepared with Al-SBA-15 support and Ni:EDTA complex showed higher activity and selectivity towards decalins. This was attributed to better dispersion of metallic Ni species and higher total amount of acid sites.

Summary: This work presents a kinetic study of CO2 capture on Na2ZrO3 as a function of temperature and CO2 flow rate. A new kinetic model is proposed and discussed, which considers the formation of a Na2CO3-ZrO2 layer and the enhancement of the capture process by Na+ ions diffusion. The results show that the CO2 capture efficiency is improved as the CO2 flow rate increases. The activated state energy for surface capture and bulk capture are calculated using the Eyring model. The study also discusses the impact of CO2 sorption desorption process at low temperature and flow rate on high-temperature CO2 capture.

Summary: The influence of acid sites on the hydrodeoxygenation of anisole over Ni catalysts supported on modified SBA-15 was investigated. The modification of SBA-15 with metal oxides increased the metal-support interaction and acidity of the catalysts, leading to improved selectivity to cyclohexane. The increase in the amount and strength of acid sites, especially Brønsted sites, promoted the cleavage of the C-O bond.

Summary: The addition of alkali carbonates to lithium cuprate improves both CO conversion and CO2 chemisorption at moderate temperatures, promoting CO oxidation and CO2 capture by forming a new phase. Samples modified with a single carbonate, either Na or K, show a higher tendency to capture CO2 formed during CO oxidation, allowing the simultaneous elimination of CO and CO2. This modified Li2CuO2 material has the potential to replace two different materials typically used in industrial processes.
