The use of nitrides, along with sulfides and carbides, as catalysts for hydroprocessing has recently been extensively reviewed by Furimsky and will not be discussed in detail here. Subsequently, Al-Megren et have published a comparison of the activities of bulk CoMo carbide, oxide, nitride and sulfide catalysts for pyridine hydrodenitrogenation. Of these, the sulfide catalysts were reported to possess more stable activity, with the carbide being next, followed... 

Preparation and catalytic properties of Ir/alumina and Ir-Mo/alumina sulfide catalysts were studied in hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of pyridine and hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene. The Ir added to a Mo/alumina catalyst in amount...

Transition metal sulfides of the 3" row show high activity in hydrotreating reactions and some of them are studied as potential promoters of conventional catalysts in order to improve their performance. Carbon supported Pt sulfide was highly active in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of quinoline and pyridine [1,2]. The Pt/silica-alumina sulfide catalyst has been investigated as the promising candidate for deep HDS [3].
