Abstract

Serial difunctional catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 and HY zeolite were synthesized and characterized systemically. The characterization results disclosed that hydrogen spillover existed in the NiMo and CoMo catalysts, and decreasing Ni/Mo and Co/Mo ratios could reduce hydrogen spillover. Meanwhile, the naphthalene hydrocracking behaviors over different catalysts were investigated and compared. The higher yield of cyclane for CoMo/AY catalysts demonstrated that hydrogen spillover could deeply hydrogenate naphthalene into cyclane. The combined catalysts of Ni/Y@CoMo/A, Ni/Y@NiMo/A and Ni/Y@Mo/A showed relatively lower conversions of naphthalene but higher yields of valued
