Abstract

The gas-phase reaction of diethyl disulfide hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure in the presence of supported transition metal sulfides was studied. The reaction of diethyl disulfide with hydrogen at T = 200°C resulted in ethanethiol, and the selectivity to ethanethiol was no lower than 94%. The selectivity decreased at a higher temperature because of diethyl disulfide decomposition to ethylene and hydrogen sulfide. The reaction of diethyl disulfide in the presence of hydrogen occurred at a higher rate and selectivity than that in an atmosphere of helium. The activity of metal sulfides supported on aluminum oxide was higher than on the other studied supports—aluminosilicate, silica gel, and a carbon support. Metal sulfides supported on Al2O3 were arranged in the following order according to their activity: Rh > Ru > Mo ≥ Pd > Ni > W. Bimetallic catalysts were less active than monometallic catalysts. The activity of catalysts increased with the sulfide sulfur content; the partial reduction of metal sulfides also increased the catalytic activity.
