Abstract

Vanadium nitride and carbide were synthesized by the temperature-programmed reaction of ammonium vanadate (NH4VO 3) with pure NH3 and 20% CH4 in H2, respectively. Based on the XRD results, the catalysts showed VN and V 8C7/V4C3 with an amount of V 2O3 in the bulk after nitridation and carburization. The hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation reactions were studied and compared to vanadium sulfide catalyst. These catalysts (VC, VN) are stable under typical hydroprocessing conditions.
