In summary, a new method has been developed to prepare HDS catalyst and this catalyst has been compared with<br />

catalysts prepared by the conventional methods for selective thiophene HDS. This method enables a high dispersion<br />

of the molybdenum oxide and sulfide, resulting in higher activity and high yield of olefin in thiophene HDS.<br />
