It was found that MoO3 does not adsorb onto pure SiO2 despite its relatively high surface area (400 m2/g). In contrast, SA52, MSA30, and MSA19 with surface areas 430, 580 and 600 m2/g adsorbed about 14, 7 and 3 wt. % of MoO3, respectively. The content of Al2O3 in the SA based materials thus well correlated with the adsorption loadings of MoO3 achieved by the saturation experiments. Moreover, it was acquired that the highest dispersion and HDS activities were achieved over catalysts containing dealuminated MSA supports despite of relatively low loadings of Mo. After Co deposition, the weight normalized activities in BT HDS increased 2.2 and 4.3 times on effective MoS2 promotion by Co on more acidic supports. Furthermore, those catalysts keep the high acidities of the original supports, as it was determined by cyclohexene isomerization and cumene cracking, while industrial reference CoMo catalysts supported onto gamma-Al2O3 was found to exhibit low acidity.
