Description Magnetic susceptibility and e.s.r. spectroscopic techniques have been used to study the formation and concentration of metallic nickel in three commercial hydrocracking catalysts consisting of oxides of nickel and tungsten supported on alumina, silicaalumina and boria-alumina. In a hydrogen atmosphere, the influence of cetane and benzene, with and without added thiophene or CS2, on the oxidation state of nickel was investigated. In the absence of sulphur, nickel is present mostly in the metallic state during the hydrogenation of benzene or the hydrocracking of cetane. When CS2 is present in the feed, it destroys the ferromagnetic nickel. Metallic nickel is, however, still present during the above two reactions even in the presence of thiophene. The underlying support is seen to exert a significant influence on the ease of formation of metallic nickel.
