Abstract
A process and catalyst are provided for the hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon feedstock consisting essentially of hydrocarbon boiling between about 150.degree. F. and 700.degree. F. at atmospheric pressure. The process comprises reacting the feedstock with hydrogen at hydrogenation conditions in the presence of a catalyst comprising hydrogenation metals and a support comprising beta zeolite. The hydrogenation metals comprise from about 0.1 percent by weight to about 2.0 percent by weight each of palladium and platinum measured as a percentage of the catalyst. The beta zeolite comprises from about 1 ppm by weight to about 3.0 percent by weight sodium calculated as a percentage of said beta zeolite.
Claims6
A hydrogenation catalyst suitable for hydrogenation of hydrocarbon feedstock consisting of a support of beta zeolite and a refractory inorganic oxide and from about 0.1 percent by weight to about 2.0 percent by weight each of palladium and platinum calculated as a percentage of said catalyst, the sodium concentration in said beta zeolite ranging from about 1 ppm by weight to about 3.0 percent by weight calculated as a percentage of said beta zeolite.
