This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will investigate new materials for use in industrial hydrodesulfurization (HDS) processing. This project will focus on transition metal phosphide catalysts, a novel class of compounds recently discovered to be highly active towards HDS, and the effect of the support material on their chemical and catalytic properties. The support materials that we will investigate for this project are mixed oxides consisting of silica, zirconia, or titania. The primary objectives of Phase I research are: o Determine the nature of the interaction between the active phase and the mixed oxide supports. o Determine how the support chemistry and microstructure affect the catalytic activity and stability of a transition metal phosphide catalyst.Commercial opportunities exist for new HDS catalysts capable of producing ultra-clean transportation fuels. The environmental regulations being implemented world-wide to reduce the impact of pollutants such as SO2, responsible for acid rain, from car exhaust, along with the declining quality of fossil fuel feedstocks, will provide substantial motivation for the refineries to seek alternative catalyst materials.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）一期项目将研究用于工业加氢脱硫（HDS）处理的新材料。该项目将重点研究过渡金属磷化物催化剂，这是一种最近发现的对HDS具有高活性的新型化合物，以及支撑材料对其化学和催化性能的影响。我们将在这个项目中研究的支撑材料是由二氧化硅、氧化锆或二氧化钛组成的混合氧化物。第一阶段研究的主要目标是：确定活性相和混合氧化物载体之间相互作用的性质。o确定支撑化学和微观结构如何影响过渡金属磷化物催化剂的催化活性和稳定性。能够生产超清洁运输燃料的新型HDS催化剂存在商业机会。为了减少汽车尾气中二氧化硫等造成酸雨的污染物的影响，以及化石燃料原料质量的下降，世界各地正在实施环境法规，这将为炼油厂寻求替代催化剂材料提供巨大的动力。
