Abstract:
A composition having a substantial or material absence of or no phosphorous and comprising a support material, a metal compound and either a hydrocarbon oil or a polar additive or a combination of both a hydrocarbon oil and polar additive. The polar additive has particularly defined properties including having a dipole moment of at least 0.45. The composition is useful in the hydroprocessing of hydrocarbon feedstocks, and it is especially useful in the hydrotreating of vacuum gas oils and petroleum resid feedstocks.
Abstract:
The invention provides superficially porous metal oxide or hybrid metal oxide monoliths with ordered pore structures. The superficially porous hybrid silica monoliths of the invention provide several major advantages over existing silica monoliths. When used in chromatography, the superficially porous hybrid silica monoliths of the invention deliver fast separation at very low back pressure and possess superb pH stability and much improved mechanical strength.
