Aqueous catalyst sulfiding process

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method of sulfiding a sulfidable catalyst containing at least one metal or metal oxide under aqueous conditions, comprising: (i) treating said catalyst with an aqueous solution containing at least one water soluble sulfur-containing compound selected from the group consisting of sulfur containing amino acid and a by-product of a biomass digestion process to provide a treated catalyst; (b) heating said treated catalyst in the presence of hydrogen at a temperature in the range of about 150 °C to about 550 °C.
