Inhibition of the Hydrogenation and Hydrodesulfurization Reactions by Nitrogen Compounds over NiMo/Al2O3

The inhibiting effect of nitrogen compounds on the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds and on the hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyl dibenzothiophene (4,6 DMDBT), has been systematically investigated over a commercial NiMo hydrotreating catalyst. Amongst the different nitrogen compounds considered, interestingly ammonia was found to have the strongest inhibit...

Eco-Friendly Multipurpose Lubricating Greases from Vegetable Residual Oils

Environmentally friendly multipurpose grease formulation has been synthesized by using Jatropha vegetable residual oil with lithium soap and multifunctional additive. The thus obtained formulation was evaluated for its tribological performance on a four-ball tribo-tester. The anti-friction and anti-wear performance characteristics were evaluated using standard test methods. The biodegradability...

Hydrotreating reactions of tall oils over commercial NiMo catalyst

Catalytic hydrotreating is an attractive method for upgrading bio-derived oils into renewable feedstocks with less oxygen content, suitable for producing valuable hydrocarbons through various petro-refinery processes. This study evaluates the catalytic activity of a commercial alumina (Al2O3) supported NiMo catalyst for hydrotreating tall oil feeds such as crude tall oil (CTO), distilled tall o...
