Abstract:
Hydrocracking catalysts and hydrocracking processes for the selective production of lube base stocks are disclosed. The hydrocracking catalyst contains a low acidity, highly dealuminated USY zeolite having a zeolite acid site density of from 1 to 100 micromole/g, a catalyst support, and one or more metals. The hydrocracking catalysts can maximize lube base stock yield while providing for effective impurity removal and VI enhancement at lower hydrocracking conversions.
Abstract:
Hydrocracking processes for the selective production of middle distillates are disclosed. The hydrocracking catalyst contains a low acidity, highly dealuminated USY zeolite having a zeolite acid density of from 1 to 100 micromole/g, a catalyst support, and one or more metals. The hydrocracking process can maximize middle distillate yield while providing for effective impurity removal and enhanced aromatics saturation.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for making a catalyst for hydroprocessing a carbonaceous feedstock under hydroprocessing conditions, and the use of that catalyst. More particularly, the present invention is directed to methods for inhibiting rapid decomposition of ammonium nitrate during calcination of the catalyst following metal impregnation, wherein ammonium nitrate is formed when a nitrate-containing composition and an ammonium-containing component is used in the deposition of metal onto the catalyst.
