Abstract
A carrier suitable for preparing a catalyst for hydrofining hydrocarbon oils which has a high ability to eliminate metals contained in the hydrocarbon oils and an improved metal tolerance as well as said catalyst are provided. The carrier of the present invention is an alumina-containing carrier which shows a peak at 2.theta. of 27.degree. in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern when carrying Mo and Co or one or more other metals selected from among metals of the groups VIA and VIII in the periodic table together with Mo and Co.
Claims6
A catalyst for hydrofining hydrocarbon oils which comprises (i) an alumina-containing carrier which comprises from about 5 to 40% by weight, on the basis of the catalyst, of boron oxide in addition to the alumina, said alumina-containing carrier carrying thereon (ii) hydrofining-active components, which comprise Mo and Co or one or more metals selected from among metals of group VIA of the periodic table other than Mo and metals of group VIII of the periodic table other than Co, together with Mo and Co, wherein said alumina-containing carrier shows a peak at 2.THETA. of 27.degree. in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern;
- and wherein said hydrofining-active components are from 3 to 20% by weight, in terms of oxide, or a metal of group VIA of the periodic table and from 0.5 to 10% by weight, in terms of oxide, or a metal of group VIII of the periodic table.
