Abstract: The metal dispersion and sulfur tolerancc of Pd-Pt/USYcatalysts with different n(Pd)/n(Pt) ratios was investigated by using an extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS) method.The resultsindicate that the presence of Pd in Pd-Pt/USY catalyst can restrain Pt particles from agglomerating, so thePt dispersion of catalyst calcined in air increases as the increasing of n(Pd)/n(Pt) ratio.There are morePd/Pt alloy metal particles in sulfided Pd-Pt/USY catalyst with n(Pd)/n(Pt) = 4/1, which has a benefitto the improvement of sulfur-tolerant performance ot the catalyst.The sulfur-tolerant performance of Pd-Pt/USYcatalyst is improved obviously in the presence of Pt.On the other hand, the higher dispersion ofPt on oxidic catalyst is a main reason for thc forming of more Pd-Pt alloy metal particles on the sulfidedcatalyst.
