Abstract
Six commercial hydrocracking catalysts were characterized by the temperature programmed reduction (TPR), TPD and temperature programmed sulfiding (TPS) methods. The conditions for the pretreatment for reactions were established for different catalysts, based on the results of the temperature programming reduction/sulfiding. The TPD of ammonia provided the information about the acid strength and density of the catalysts. The acidity of the catalysts was very well correlated with the cumene cracking under the experimental conditions. The results show that such an approach can be utilized for the fast screening of commercial hydroprocessing catalysts and also for finding the best laboratory prepared catalysts.
