Abstract
A process for the simultaneous hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization of a gas oil utilizing a novel catalyst. The novel hydroprocessing catalyst comprises an overlayer of at least one Group VIB metal component, at least one Group VIII metal component and at least one phosphorous component on a support comprising at least one underbedded phosphorus component combined with a porous refractory oxide, said catalyst having a median pore diameter from about 60 to about 120 .ANG..
Claims2
A hydroprocess for upgrading a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock in a hydroprocessing zone operated at hydroprocessing conditions including a temperature in the range from about 500.degree. F. to about 900.degree. F., a hydrogen pressure from about 200 to about 4,000 psig and a hydrogen recycle rate from about 500 to about 15,000 standard cubic feet per barrel utilizing a hydroprocessing catalyst comprising an overlayer of at least one Group VIB metal component, at least one Group VIII metal component and at least one phosphorus component on a support comprising at least one underbedded phosphorus component combined with a porous refractory oxide, said catalyst having a median pore diameter from about 60 to about 120 angstroms.
A hydroprocess for upgrading a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock in a hydroprocessing zone operated at hydroprocessing conditions including a temperature in the range from about 500.degree. F. to about 900.degree. F., a hydrogen pressure from about 200 to about 4,000 psig and a hydrogen recycle rate from about 500 to about 15,000 standard cubic feet per barrel utilizing a hydroprocessing catalyst prepared by the method comprising:
