The hydrodesulfurisation of two aromatic polycyclic compounds has been studied on sulfurised NiMo/Al2O3 catalyst at 250 deg C, 40 atm in dodecane: benzo(b)naphthothiophen and 8,9,10,11-tetrahydrobenzo(b)naphthothiophen.For these two molecules, there always is competition between the different processes, hydrogenation of the thiophen double bond, hydrogenation of the aromatic (naphthenic) part and desulfurisation.This result is very different from those found for benzo(b)thiophen, where the first step was hydrogenation of the olefinic double bond prior to desulfurisation, and for dibenzothiophen, where desulfurisation (hydrogenolysis) takes place prior to hydrogenation.The main consequence of this behaviour is that the heavier the sulfur compounds the more important the consumption of hydrogen will be in the overall hydrotreatment process on this catalyst because hydrogenation of aromatic rings competes with hydrogenolysis.
