| Title: Towards enhanced yield and direct desulfurization selectivity over hydrodesulfurization catalyst CoMo/γ-Al2O3 | |
| Abstract: The controlled preparation of industrial hydrodesulfurization catalysts CoMo/γ-Al2O3 is of great importance. Here, different complexing agents were used for catalyst preparation, and deep insights into enhanced catalytic selectivity and yields have been gained as well. Dual complexing agents could weaken the strength of the Mo-S bond so that the active phase MoS2 generates more coordination unsaturated sites and SH groups, which improves the selectivity to the direct desulfurization route, finally increase reaction efficiency and reduce hydrogen consumption. | |
| Biography: Dr. Dan Liu is currently Tianjin Distinguished Professor, working at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Tiangong University. She received Ph.D. from China Petroleum University (East China). She was a Visiting Scholar at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2009) and a Postdoc at Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (2009-2012), She was also a Visiting Research Fellow at Brown University (2017-2018). Professor Liu's research group focuses on studies of several aspects of nanoscale functional materials, including self-assembly synthesis, catalysis, adsorption and separation, for the applications to energy and environments. The group is also developing functional materials as corrosion inhibitors for metal protection. | |
