Abstract
The present process effectively produces hydrocarbon products upon hydrotreating a feedstock of biological origin. The process comprises first providing a bio feedstock, then passing the feedstock to a reactor comprising a catalyst comprised of about 2 to 6 wt. % Mo, 0.2 to 0.9 wt. % Ni, and 0.05 to 0.50 wt. % P. The bio feedstock is then reacted over the catalyst. The reaction provides good hydrodeoxygenation at a lower reactor temperature than typically required.
Claims19
A process for hydrotreating a bio feedstock comprising:
- providing a bio feedstock;
- passing the bio feedstock to a reactor comprising a catalyst comprised of about 2 to 6 wt. % Mo, 0.2 to 0.9 wt. % Ni and 0.05 to 0.5 wt. % P, and
- reacting the feedstock over the catalyst.
A catalyst useful in hydrotreating bio feedstocks which comprises Mo, Ni, and P and a support material, wherein the catalyst is comprised of about 2 to 6 wt. % Mo, 0.2 to 0.9 wt. % Ni, and 0.05 to 0.50 wt. % P based on the total weight of the catalyst.
