A method of preparing hydrodesulfurization catalysts having cobalt and molybdenum sulfide deposited on a support material containing mesoporous silica. The method utilizes a sulfur-containing silane that dually functions as a silica source and a sulfur precursor. The method involves an one-pot strategy for hydrothermal treatment and a single-step calcination and sulfidation procedure. The application of the hydrodesulfurization catalysts in treating a hydrocarbon feedstock containing sulfur compounds to produce a desulfurized hydrocarbon stream is also specified.

The invention relates to a method for hydroprocessing a hydrocarbon feed, operated at a temperature of between 180° C. and 450° C., in the presence of a catalyst comprising i) a composite material comprising a compound based on at least one crystalline aluminium solid and carbon, the deposited carbon content being between 1 and 25 wt. % of the total mass of the composite material, and ii) at least one element of group VIB and at least one element of group VIII, in the sulfide form thereof, said catalyst being produced by a method comprising at least: a) a step of bringing a carbon precursor into contact with a compound based on at least one crystalline aluminium solid, b) a step of thermally treating the solid produced by step a), c) repeating steps a) and b) until the desired deposited carbon content is reached, d) depositing at least one element of group VIB and at least one element of group VIII on the surface of the solid produced by step c), and e) a step of sulfidisation of the solid produced in step d).

Systems and methods use bimetallic alloy particles for converting hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2S) to hydrogen (H.sub.2) and sulfur (S), typically during multiple operations. In a first operation, metal alloy composite particles can be converted to a composite metal sulfide. In a second operation, composite metal sulfide from the first operation can be regenerated back to the metal alloy composite particle using an inert gas stream. Pure, or substantially pure, sulfur can also be generated during the second operation.

A hydroprocessing catalyst has been developed. The catalyst is a crystalline transition metal tungstate material or metal sulfides derived therefrom, or both. The hydroprocessing using the crystalline transition metal tungstate material may include hydrodenitrification, hydrodesulfurization, hydrodemetallation, hydrodesilication, hydrodearomatization, hydroisomerization, hydrotreating, hydrofining, and hydrocracking.
