Patent ID: 8598059

Claim:
A process for sulfurizing a hydrocarbon treatment catalyst, comprising: a first step of depositing, on the surface of the catalyst, one or more sulfurization auxiliaries of formula (I): in which the groups R 1 and R 2 , which may be identical or different, denote a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon-based radical, comprising from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and not containing any aromatic rings(s), and which optionally contain one or more heteroatoms chosen from oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms; and, a second step of placing the catalyst in contact with a sulfur-containing gaseous mixture containing hydrogen and a sulfur compound, wherein this second step is carried out after the first step, the process does not use any deposit, on the surface of the catalyst, of carbon sources other than the sulfurization auxiliary of formula (I).
