Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have created a new synthesis process that can help significantly enhance the reaction of catalysts for the desulfurization of crude oil. It is believed that the new process could be used for catalysts in fuel cells. The presence of large amount of sulfur in the crude oil is the major reason behind the use of the new synthesis process. The new development helps enhance the activity of catalysts many times through the catalytic activity of metal sulfides with resolute hydrochloric acid beforehand. Additionally, hydrotreating is carried for removing impurities like sulfur and nitrogen compounds from crude oil. The removal of impurities is important to avoid formation of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that can harm air quality as well as vital metals in catalytic converters in the latest vehicles.
Moreover, the use of concentrated hydrochloric acid for increasing catalytic performance is an amazing invention that helps improve the effectiveness of hydrotreating. It has been found that hydrochloric acid improves the functionality of active centers in the catalysts by eliminating the less active compounds and thus, forming active, mixed metal sulfides. The use of purified mixed metal sulfides can help explore fundamental research.
The new synthesis process can help detect and quantify active centers in the catalysts that could be treated through the hydrotreating. It is also important that nickel sulfide present on the surface is removed for better catalyst activity. Moreover, the acid treatment is projected to be used as investigation instrument for an array of analogous catalysts for further application in oils obtained from renewable raw materials that could be converted into climate-friendly fuels over the period that is the refining process. However, studying mixed metal sulfide catalysts is important to improve their use in various other fields including hydrogen fuel cells or electrolysis.
