Abstract: Aseries of sulfided PtMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts[ w (Mo)=9.0%] with different contents of Pt were characterized by using low temperature FTIRspectroscopy of adsorbed CO, while their HDS activity was investigated with thiophene as a model substrate. Experimentally, it was found that no existence of the bands related to the surface complexes of Al 3+ ←COand Pt0←CO→Pt0 was observed at 77 Kand that the rate of the thiophene HDS reaction(573 K) is well linearly proportional to the area of the Pt0←COband at 2093 cm-1 with a higher extrapolated HDS rate compared to that of sulfided Mo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst at the zero content of platinum. On the basis of the results here, the conclusion may be made that the active monolayer phase of Pt Mo Smay be formed over sulfided PtMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts during the sulfidation process and that both Mo 2+ and Pt0 sites for COadsorption should be the active reaction centers of thiophene HDS .
