Abstract
A process is disclosed in which a heavy hydrocarbon oil is converted to lighter products by hydrocracking in the presence of a hydrogen donor material boiling from 200.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. and a particulate hydrogenation catalyst comprising one of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten and mixtures thereof.
Claims27
A process for upgrading heavy, viscous hydrocarbonaceous oil comprising contacting said oil with a liquid hydrogen donor material, a hydrogen-rich gas and a particulate hydrogenation catalyst in slurry form in a hydrocracking zone at hydrocracking conditions, said hydrocracking conditions including a temperature not lower than substantially 400.degree. C. and not higher than substantially 450.degree. C., to produce a hydrocracked material, said catalyst comprising one of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten and mixtures thereof.
A process for upgrading heavy, viscous hydrocarbonaceous oil containing non-distillable material boiling above 504.degree. C., comprising:
- (a) contacting said oil with a liquid hydrogen donor material, a hydrogen-rich gas and a particulate hydrogenation catalyst in slurry form in a hydrocracking zone at hydrocracking conditions, said hydrocracking conditions including a temperature not lower than substantially 400.degree. C. and not higher than substantially 450.degree. C., and
- (b) recovering a hydrocracked material containing distillables representing at least substantially 54.4% conversion of said non-distillable material to material boiling below 504.degree. C.,
- said catalyst comprising one of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten and mixtures thereof.
