The objective of this work is to evaluate the activity of all the synthesized catalysts in typicalcatalytic hydrotreating reactions. Performing first a kinetic study in a Batch reactor to the bestcatalysts that will then be tested in a continuous flow reactor in operating conditions close toindustrial ones. With this objective, catalysts supported on SBA-16 were synthesized. Thismesoporous has a high surface area and good characteristics of thermal stability, against theconditions set. The support was modified by incorporating Al indirectly and then impregnated withIr, Pt and Pd. The behavior of the synthesized catalysts was studied against a commercially usedcatalyst and another support widely used in the industry, such as alumina. The catalysts werecharacterized by XRD, FTIR, NMR, TPR and N2 adsorption- desorption isotherms.
