Removal of refractory S-containing compounds from liquid fuels over P-loaded NiMoW/SBA-16 sulfide catalysts

- SBA-16 substrate modified with 1 wt.% of P is an efficient support for NiMoW HDS catalysts.
- The NiMoW/SBA-16 sulfide catalyst with 1 wt.% of P is more active in HDS reaction than the P-free counterpart.
- The formation of “onion-type” Mo(W)S2 structure is detrimental for HDS activity.
