Abstract:
1. A method for selectively treating hindered sulfur species from a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon feed, the method comprising: providing a multimetallic amine oxide catalyst having the formula (T1) sulfiding the multimetallic amine oxide catalyst using a sulfiding composition and sulfiding conditions in the liquid phase in order to activate the catalyst for selective hydrodesulfurization; hydrotreating a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon feed having at least 25 wppm of hindered sulfur species, in the presence of hydrogen, under first effective hydrotreating conditions sufficient to selectively hydrodesulfurize the hindered sulfur species in the feed, so as to attain a treated hydrocarbon feed having no more than 10 wppm of hindered sulfur species and having 30 wppm or less total sulfur content.
