The hydrodesulfurization of fuel oil was reviewed. The minor component in fuel oil was tabulated. The engineering problems on the hydrodesulfurization was discussed, especially, work performed in a fluidized bed, socalled “H-Oil Process” was explained in detail. Studies on the hydrodesulfurization, which has been carried out in Government Chemical Industrial Research Institute, Tokyo, were described from two viewpoints, that are engineering problem and one of catalysts. The developement of a process, which belongs to a type of “Moving Bed” and is expected to be usefull in a commercial plant, was described with some data obtained. Catalyst employed in this process was Co-Mo-Al2O3 and the ralation between the methods of preparation and its characteristics were discussed.
