Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a slurry hydrocracking process. The process can include providing one or more hydrocarbon compounds having an initial boiling point temperature of at least about 340° C., and a slurry catalyst to a slurry hydrocracking zone. The slurry catalyst may have about 32-about 50%, by weight, iron; about 3-about 14%, by weight, aluminum; no more than about 10%, by weight, sodium; and about 2-about 10%, by weight, calcium. Typically, all catalytic component percentages are as metal and based on the weight of the dried slurry catalyst.
Claims20
A slurry hydrocracking process, comprising:
- providing one or more hydrocarbon compounds having an initial boiling point temperature of at least about 340° C., and a slurry catalyst to a slurry hydrocracking zone, wherein the slurry catalyst comprises:
- 1) about 40-about 50%, by weight, iron;
- 2) about 3-about 14%, by weight, aluminum;
- 3) no more than about 10%, by weight, sodium;
- and
- 4) about 3-about 8%, by weight, calcium;
- wherein all catalytic component percentages are as metal and based on the weight of a dried slurry catalyst.
A slurry hydrocracking process, comprising:
- providing one or more hydrocarbon compounds having an initial boiling point temperature of at least about 340° C., and a slurry catalyst to a slurry hydrocracking zone, wherein the slurry catalyst comprises:
- 1) about 15-about 25%, by weight, iron;
- 2) about 3.5-about 5%, by weight, aluminum;
- 3) no more than about 5%, by weight, sodium;
- and
- 4) greater than about 3%, by weight, calcium;
- wherein all catalytic component percentages are as metal and based on the weight of the slurry catalyst with a loss on ignition at 900° C. of about 40-about 60%, by weight.
A slurry hydrocracking process, comprising:
- providing one or more hydrocarbon compounds having an initial boiling point temperature of at least about 340° C., and a slurry catalyst to a slurry hydrocracking zone, wherein the slurry catalyst comprises:
- 1) about 57-about 72%, by weight, iron oxide;
- 2) about 6-about 27%, by weight, aluminum oxide;
- 3) no more than about 14%, by weight, sodium oxide;
- and
- 4) about 4-about 12%, by weight, calcium oxide;
- wherein all catalytic component percentages are as oxide and based on the weight of a dried slurry catalyst.
