Synthesis, characterisation and HDN activity of iron-vanadium sulphide prepared with the use of a chelating agent
The influence of the use of ethylenediamine in the preparation of iron-vanadium catalyst for toluene hydrogenation (HYD) and pyridine hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) has been studied. Both HYD and HDN activities increased significantly with Fe incorporation to vanadium sulphide and the beneficial effect of ethylenediamine was shown. Possible explanations for the enhancements in HYD and HDN conversion are discussed.
