Hydrodesulfurization of Dibenzothiophene Over Ni-Mo Sulfides Supported by Proton-Exchanged Siliceous MCM-41
Strong acid sites on the surface of mesoporous MCM-41 were generated by ion-exchanging siliceous MCM-41 with dilute HNO3 solution (0.5 M). The XRF determination indicates that most of the sodium cations contained...
