Abstract
A slurry hydroprocessing process for upgrading a hydrocarbon feedstock containing nitrogen and sulfur using bulk multimetallic catalyst comprised of at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least two Group VIB metals wherein the ratio of Group VIB metal to Group VIII metal is about 10:1 to about 1:10.
Claims8
A slurry hydroprocessinig process which comprises hydroprocessing a hydrocarbon feedstock selected from the group comprising distillate and residual feedstocks containing nitrogen and sulfur, under effective slurry hydrotreating conditions, in the presence of a hydrogen containing treat gas and of a bulk multimetallic catalyst for upgrading said hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein said bulk multimetallic catalyst comprises of at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least two Group VIB metals and wherein the ratio of said at least two Group VIB metals to said at least one Group VIII non-noble metal is from about 10:1 to about 1:10.
