Popis: A new type of zeolite beta (denoted as MB) with multi-pore system was synthesized by using in situ synthesized method from kaolin mineral in this study. NiW/Al 2 O 3 –MB and NiW/TiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –MB catalysts were prepared and the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activities of these catalysts were evaluated with FCC diesel feed. The samples were characterized by N 2 physisorption, XRD, SEM, TPR, FT-IR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption, HRTEM and XPS techniques. The HDS results showed that the MB-containing catalyst exhibited much higher HDS conversion (98.7%) than that of NiW/γ-Al 2 O 3 (97.5%). The incorporation of TiO 2 into the composite supports further increased the HDS conversion (99.3%) of NiW/TiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –MB. The higher HDS activity was mainly associated with the appropriate ratio of B/L (Bronsted acid/Lewis acid) and the enhanced hydrogenation activity.
