Abstract:
A method for hydrodesulfurizing FCC naphtha is described. More particularly, a Co/Mo metal hydrogenation component is loaded on a silica or modified silica support in the presence of organic ligand and sulfided to produce a catalyst which is then used for hydrodesulfurizing FCC naphtha. The silica support has a defined pore size distribution which minimizes olefin saturation.
Abstract:
Bulk metallic catalysts comprised of a Group VIII metal and a Group VIB metal and methods for synthesizing bulk metallic catalysts are provided. The catalysts are prepared by a method wherein precursors of both metals are mixed and interacted with at least one organic acid, such as glyoxylic acid, dried, calcined, and sulfided. The catalysts are used for hydroprocessing, particularly hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation, of hydrocarbon feedstocks.
Abstract:
Methods for rejuvenation of supported metallic catalysts comprised of a Group VIII metal, a Group VIB metal, making use of these metals, an organic complexing agent, and optionally an organic additive, are provided. The rejuvenation includes stripping and regeneration of a spent or partially spent catalyst, followed by impregnation with metals and at least one organic compound. The impregnated, regenerated catalysts are dried, calcined, and sulfided. The catalysts are used for hydroprocessing, particularly hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation, of hydrocarbon feedstocks.

Abstract:
A process for the catalytic oxidation of a feed comprising contacting said zone, wherein: (a) said catalyst comprises at least one catalytically active metal selected from the group consisting of silver and the elements of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements supported on a porous ceramic carrier, (b) said catalyst is retained within said reaction zone in a fixed arrangement; and (c) said carrier has a distribution of total pores wherein: (1) about 70 percent of said total pores have a volume to surface area ratio (V/S) that is within about 20 percent of the mean V/S value for said total pores and no pores have a volume to surface area ratio that is greater than twice the mean V/S value for said total pores; and (2) for about 70 percent of said total pores, the pore-to-pore distance between neighboring pores is within about 25 percent of the mean pore-to-pore distance between neighboring pores; and (3) about 50 percent of said total pores have a coordination number that is within about 50 percent of the mean coordination number between neighboring pores and wherein less than about 15 percent of said total pores have a coordination number that is less than 3.
Abstract:
Methods and catalysts are provided for performing dewaxing of diesel boiling range fractions, such as trim dewaxing, that allow for production of diesel boiling range fuels with improved cold flow properties at desirable yields. In some aspects, the methods can include use of dewaxing catalysts based on an MEL framework structure (ZSM-11) to provide improved dewaxing activity. This can provide sufficient dewaxing activity to achieve a desired level of improvement in cold flow properties at the lower hydrotreating temperatures that are generally desired near the start of operation of a hydrotreating reactor. In other aspects, the methods can include use of MEL dewaxing catalysts with reduced ratios of molecular sieve to binder so that trim dewaxing can be provided while maintaining a desirable yield under end-of-run hydrotreating conditions.
