Abstract
A method of hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed comprises contacting the hydrocarbon feed with a catalyst suitable for hydrocracking in the presence of molecular hydrogen in a reactor to crack at least a portion of the hydrocarbon feed to form a product, wherein the hydrocarbon feed has a 5 wt. % boiling point from 250° C. to 500° C. and 95 wt. % boiling point from 450° C. to 650° C. The catalyst comprises from 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. % of a zeolite Beta having a particle size of 100 nm or less; from 10 wt. % to 70 wt. % of amorphous silica alumina; from 10 wt. % to 40 wt. % of porous alumina; and from 10 w % to 35 wt. % of one or more metal oxides.
