Abstract
This invention is concerned with removing metals and sulfur from oil, preferably from residual oil, by contact with a novel catalyst. Said catalyst comprises a Group VIII metal and a Group VI metal deposited within an amorphous porous glass support of controlled pore size distribution.
Claims39
A process for the catalytical demetalation of a hydrocarbon oil, which comprises contacting said oil with a regenerable catalyst under processing conditions including a temperature between about 600.degree. F. and 850.degree. F. and a space velocity of between about 0.1 and 0.5 LHSV, said regenerable catalyst comprising the oxides or sulfides of a Group VI metal and a Group VIII metal deposited within an amorphous porous glass support of controlled pore size.
