Abstract
The effect of sulfur on the sequential hydrogenation of naphthalene, in the regime where sulfur concentration begins to affect the activity and selectivity of noble metal catalysts. Trace quantities of benzothiophene in naphthalene were detected and were subsequently removed. After treatment of naphthalene over Raney Ni catalyst, no peak due to benzothiophene was observed. With increasing feedstock sulfur concentration, conversion of naphthalene decreased. The hydrogenation of tetralin was inhibited to a higher extent in the presence of even small amount of benzothiophene.
