T
he critical challenge in the developing of the energy-efficient co-processing of triglyceride-based feedstock with straight–
run gas oil (SRGO) for ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel) production is the elucidation of peculiarities of sulfide catalyst’s
behaviour depending on their chemical composition. It is known, that the triglycerides conversion over sulfide Co(Ni)Mo/
Al

catalysts proceeds through the deoxygenation (with the water formation) or via decarbonylation (with COx production)
pathways. But COx production is highly undesirable, because of ecological and technological reasons. In our work dual-bed
catalytic system is proposed for the co-processing of rapeseed oil (RSO) – SRGO mixture into ULSD. The Mo/Al

catalyst is
used in the front layer to provide RSO conversion without considerable COx formation, the SRGO hydrotreating proceeds over

were compared in the hydrotreating of blended feedstocks (up to 45% of RSO) using full-sized commercial granules and
trickle-bed reactor. Total S, N, O contents and quality of produced fuels was checked using the corresponding ASTMmethods.
Characterization of the catalysts after reaction with TEM confirmed the formation of highly dispersed MoS

, CoMoS, and
NiMoS nanoparticles. It was observed, that over NiMoS/Al

catalyst ULSD can be produced from SRGO and RSO-SRGO
blends at the same conditions (at 4.0 MPa, 340

C, LHSV - 1,5 h-1, H

/C- 600), while the sufficient increase of temperature
is needed if the CoMoS/Al

catalyst is used. In the case of the dual-bed system, RSO content has only minor effect on the
catalyst efficiency in hydrotreating reaction, confirming that the decrease of HDS activity of CoMoS/Al

catalyst in presence
of RSO is due to CO inhibition. The use of dual bed system increase the products yield prevents COx formation and avoid the
necessity of costly and energy-intensive purification of recycle hydrogen in co-processing of RSO-SRGO mixtures.
