Abstract:
THE PROCESS COMPRISES CONTACTING THE FEEDSTOCK IN A FIRST REACTION ZONE WITH A FIRST CATALYST IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN AND UNDER HYDROPROCESSING CONDITIONS TO PRODUCE A FIRST EFFLUENT AND CONTACTING SAID FIRST EFFLUENT IN A SECOND REACTION ZONE WITH A SECOND CATALYST IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN AND UNDER HYDROPROCESSING CONDITIONS. THE FIRST CATALYST COMPRISES A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A METAL OF GROUP VI-A AND A METAL OF GROUP VIII, OXIDES OF SAID METALS, SULFIDES OF SAID METALS, AND MIXTURES, THEREOF ON A SOLID CATALYTIC SUPPORT COMPRISING AN OXIDE OF ZINC OXIDE AND CATALYSTICALLY ACTIVE ALUMINA AND HAS AN AVERAGE PORE DIAMETER OF ABOVE 50 A. TO ABOUT 100 A. THE SECOND CATALYST COMPRISES A HYDROGENATION COMPONENT AND A SOLID NON-ACIDIC OR WEAKLY-ACIDIC SUPPORT AND HAS AN AVERAGE PORE DIAMETER THAT IS GREATER THAN THE AVERAGE PORE DIAMETER OF THE FIRST CATALYST. FEEDSTOCKS MAY BE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON, RESIDUA, SHALE OIL, LIQUIFIED COAL, OIL FROM TAR SANDS, AND COMBINATIONS THEREOF.
Abstract:
THE CATALYST COMPRISES A HYDROGENATION COMPONENT ON A SOLID CATALYTIC SUPPORT COMPRISING A COMPOSITE OF ZINC OXIDE AND A CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE ALUMINA. THE SUPPORT COMPRISES A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF 50 WT. PERCENT ZINC OXIDE, BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF SAID SUPPORT. THE HYDROGENATION COMPONENT COMPRISES A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A METAL OF GROUP VI-A AND A METAL OF GROUP VIII O THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS, THE OXIDES OF SAID METALS, THE SULFIDES OF SAID METALS, AND COMBINATIONS THEREOF. A PREFERRED GROUP VI-A METALS IS MOLYBDENUM AND A PREFERRED GROUP VIII METAL IS COBALT. THE PROCESS COMPRISES CONTACTING A HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCK IN A REACTION ZONE WITH THE ABOVE CATALYTIC COMPOSITION IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN AND UNDER HYDROPROCESSING CONDITIONS. AN EMBODIEMENT OF THE PROCESS IS A HYDRODESULFURIZATION PROCESS.
Abstract:
The catalyst comprises a small amount of rhenium and the oxides of chromium on a catalytically active alumina. The catalyst may be promoted by an oxide of an alkali metal, an oxide of an alkaline earth metal, or mixtures thereof. The catalyst is very efficient for the dehydrocyclization of paraffins and may be used in a process for reforming a petroleum hydrocarbon feedstock containing a substantial amount of paraffins, which process comprises contacting the hydrocarbon feedstock in a reforming reaction zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with the catalyst of the present invention.
Abstract:
The catalyst comprises a hydrogenation component on a support comprising a composite of zinc oxide, silica, and a catalytically active alumina. The catalytic support may contain from about 2 weight percent to about 10 weight percent silica and a maximum amount of 50 weight percent zinc oxide. A preferred hydrogenation component comprises cobalt and molybdenum, their oxides, and/or their sulfides. The processes employing the catalyst include a process for the hydroprocessing of a hydrocarbon feedstock and a process for the hydrodesulfurization of a hydrocarbon feedstock. The processes are suitable for processing heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as petroleum hydrocarbon residua.
Abstract:
The catalyst comprises a component having hydrogenationdehydrogenation activity, a suitable support, and as a promoter a small amount of technetium. The support may comprise alumina and the component having hydrogenation-dehydrogenation activity and dehydrocyclization activity may be a Group VIII noble metal or a metal from Group VIA of the Periodic Table of Elements. The small amount of technetium is about 0.01 to about 2 weight percent, based on the weight of the catalyst. The process comprises contacting a petroleum hydrocarbon stream in a reforming zone under suitable reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst of the invention.
