Thiophene hydrodesulfurization and butene hydrogenation have been determined for MOO&- A1203, WOJ-y-A&OS, and RezO,/y-A&O3 catalysts, using a micro-flow reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. Catalysts have been prepared by various methods, viz., ion exchange, gas-phase adsorption, dry and wet impregnation of y-Al2O3 as well as impregnation of boehmite. The catalysts have been prepared on a surface coverage basis. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area and pore volume measurements, and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). Moody-Al,O, and WO&-A1203 catalysts prepared by dry and wet impregnation give essentially the same results. A correlation exists between the reducibility of oxidic Moody-Al,O, and WOJy-A&O3 catalysts prepared by dry and wet impregnation, and the hydrodesulfurization activity of the sulfided samples. The higher the reducibility, the higher the hydrodesulfurization activity. This correlation also holds for Moody-A&O3 catalysts prepared by other methods, viz., ion exchange, gas-phase adsorption, and impregnation of boehmite, and for Re20,/y-A&O3 catalysts prepared by dry impregnation. Butene hydrogenation activity of sulfided MoOyly-A1203 and WOJy-Al,OS catalysts also correlates with reducibility. This correlation is qualitatively the same as that found for hydrodesulfuriza-tion. For Re*O,/y-A1203 catalysts this is not the case. The ratio between hydrodesulfurization activity and hydrogenation activity decreases in the order W + MO + Re. TPR is a time-saving screening technique for unpromoted well-dispersed hydrodesulfurization catalysts.
