The by-products collected during the synthesis of carbon nanohorns via the arc discharge synthesis method is comprised of other carbon particles (OCP). At a hydrotreating operating temperature of 370°C, preliminary investigations using a bimetallic catalyst with support originating from the fine fractions of other carbon particles (OCP f ) and containing 13 wt% Mo and 2.5 wt% Ni resulted in an HDS and HDN conversion of 78 and 25%, respectively. Variation of metal compositions in catalyst formulation and its impact on hydrotreating activity was therefore considered in this study to enhance the hydrotreating activity of OCP f –supported catalyst, and to determine if the best NiMo/OCP f  catalyst achieved from this study could be a viable catalyst for hydrotreating applications. The co-incipient wetness impregnation was used in preparing series of hydrotreating catalysts with Ni and Mo loadings within the range of (2.5–5.0 wt%) and (13–26 wt%) respectively. Overall, the catalyst samples with maximum Ni loading of 5.0 wt% and Mo loadings of either 13 or 19 wt% showed higher dispersion and the ability to form a Type II Ni-Mo-S phase with enhanced activity. The effects of metal compositions on both HDS and HDN activities were correlated with their physicochemical properties.
