摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a hydrogenation catalyst capable of improving the storage stability of hydrogenated heavy hydrocarbon oil without reducing desulfurization activity or demetallization activity; and a method for hydrogenation of heavy hydrocarbon oil by using the hydrogenation catalyst, the present invention provides a hydrogenation catalyst for heavy hydrocarbon oil is provided, characterized by: at least one of metals in Group 6 of the periodic table being held by a zinc-containing alumina carrier containing 1% by mass to 15% by mass of zinc oxide particles having an average particle diameter of 2 µm to 12 µm based on the carrier; the average pore diameter being 18 nm to 35 nm, and the specific surface area being 70 m 2 /g to 150 m 2 /g, and a hydrogenation method for heavy hydrocarbon oil is also provided, characterized by a catalytic reaction of heavy hydrocarbon oil in the presence of the hydrogenation catalyst, under the conditions of a temperature of 300 °C to 420°C, a pressure of 3 MPa to 20 MPa, a hydrogen/oil ratio of 400 m 3 /m 3 to 3,000 m 3 /m 3 , and a liquid space velocity of 0.1 h -1 to 3 h -1 .
