Key words: Co-Ni-Mo catalyst, hydrotreating, hydrogenation, extraction regeneration, supercritical carbon dioxide
In the course of studying the peculiarities of regeneration of the hydrodesulfurization catalyst DN-3531 in the supercritical CO2 media it was shown that nickel oxide does not dissolve in it. However, in the case of application of a mixture of CO2+DMSO (5% mass) in the specified conditions, dissolution of nickel oxide in supercritical fluid solvents appears as possible due to the formation of Ni[DMSO]xOHy complex, which is soluble in supercritical fluid solvent mixture.
