The present invention pertains to a sulfur-containing catalyst composition suitable for the hydrotreating of hydrocarbon feeds which comprises a Group VIB metal component selected from molybdenum, tungsten, and mixtures thereof, a Group V metal component selected from vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and mixtures thereof, and a Group VIII metal component selected from nickel, cobalt, iron, and mixtures thereof, the metal components (calculated as oxides) making up at least 50 wt.% of the catalyst, wherein the molar ratio between the metal components satisfies the following formula: (Group VIB + Group V):(Group VIII) = 0.5-2:1. This catalyst has been found to show a high activity in sulfur removal in combination with good aromatics removal properties.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of an additive-containing anionic clay comprising the steps of (a) preparing a physical mixture by mixing a dry divalent metal compound with a dry trivalent metal compound, said physical mixture being solid at room temperature, (b) calcining said physical mixture at a temperature in the range 200-800°C without performing a prior aging or shaping step, thereby forming a product containing at least 5 wt% of a hydratable compound, and (c) hydrating the calcined mixture in aqueous suspension containing an additive to form the additive-containing anionic clay. This process provides a simple and cost-effective way of preparing additivecontaining anionic clays. The process does neither require aging or reaction steps before calcination, nor does it require precipitation of metal salts or the handling of inhomogeneous slurries.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for alkylating a hydrocarbon feed which comprises contacting the hydrocarbon feed to be alkylated with an alkylation agent in the presence of a catalyst comprising a solid acid, a hydrogenation metal, and 1.5 - 6 wt% of water, measured as the loss on ignition at 600°C. The presence of 1.5 - 6 wt% of water results in a higher activity and a higher alkylate quality compared with a comparable but drier catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a process for activating an hydrotreating catalyst comprising a Group VIB metal oxide and a Group VIII metal oxide which process comprises contacting the catalyst with an acid and an organic additive which has a boiling point in the range of 80-500 °C and a solubility in water of at least 5 grams per liter (20 °C, atmospheric pressure), optionally followed by drying under such conditions that at least 50% of the additive is maintained in the catalyst. The hydrotreating catalyst may be a fresh hydrotreating catalyst or a used hydrotreating catalyst which has been regenerated.
