Abstract
A catalyst composition including imogolite and its use in hydrogen processing hydrocarbons are disclosed.
Claims14
A process for hydrogen treating a hydrocarbon feed which comprises contacting said feed, at hydrogen treating conditions, with a catalyst comprising shaped catalytic bodies including (1) dispersed rods of fibrous form imogolite and (2) at least one inorganic oxide gel, said gel bonding said rods together in substantially random mutual orientation in said catalytic bodies, at least 40% of the total pore volume in said catalytic bodies being provided by pores with diameters between about 200 Angstrom units and 1,000 Angstrom units.
A process for hydrodemetalizing a hydrocarbon feed which comprises contacting said feed, at hydrodemetalizing conditions, with a catalyst including (1) dispersed rods of fibrous form imogolite and (2) from 10 to 50 weight percent, based on said rods, of at least one inorganic oxide gel, said gel bonding said rods together in substantially random mutual orientation in said catalytic bodies.
