Gasoil hydro-desulfurization using catalyst synthesized from Iraqi kaolin clay: optimization with response surface methodology (RSM)‎

Abstract EN

This search aim to study the feasibility of hydro-desulfurization (HDS) of gas oil in fixed bed reactor by using economic support catalyst alumina meta kaolin (AMK) under various operating condition, i.

The support catalyst was prepared from Iraq kaolin and characterization by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Experimental design was used to determine which parameter (e.
