Molybdenum nitride as a long lifetime catalyst for hydrodesulfurization
The molybdenum nitride catalysts are long-lifetime catalysts due to resistance to carbon deposition compared to the sulfided catalysts. The deactivation of the molybdenum nitride catalysts at the initial stage was related to the depositions of sulfur and carbon at the steady state.
