Abstract:
The process comprises contacting a feedstock which boils above about 350*F. and which contains nitrogen in an amount within the range of about 1 ppm to about 3,000 ppm in a feed-preparation zone in the presence of hydrogen and under hydrodenitrogenation conditions with a hydrodenitrogenation catalyst to obtain a denitrogenated effluent, and contacting at least a portion of the denitrogenated effluent in a hydrocracking zone in the presence of hydrogen and under hydrocracking conditions with a hydrocracking catalyst to obtain a hydrocracked effluent. The hydrodenitrogenation catalyst comprises as a hydrogenation component a Group VIA metal and Group VIII metal and/or their compounds and a cocatalytic acidic support comprising a largepore crystalline aluminosilicate material and a refractory inorganic oxide. The hydrocracking catalyst comprises as a hydrogenation component a Group VIA metal and a Group VIII metal and/or their compounds, and an acidic support of large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material. For both hydrodenitrogenation catalyst and the hydrocracking catalyst, the preferred hydrogenation component comprises nickel and tungsten and/or their compounds and the preferred large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material is ultrastable, large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material. The preferred process is a single-stage process.

Abstract:
The catalyst comprises Group VIA and Group VIII metals and/or their compounds and an acidic support comprising large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material and a large-pore-diameter alumina having a surface area within the range of about 150 to about 500 square meters per gram and an average pore diameter within the range of about 80 to about 200 Angstroms. Preferred Group VIA metals are molybdenum and tungsten. Preferred Group VIII metals are cobalt and nickel. The preferred large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material is ultrastable, large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material. The processes are hydrocarbon conversion processes, a typical example of which is a hydrocracking process. The hydrocracking process comprises contacting in a hydrocracking reaction zone under hydrocracking conditions and in the presence of hydrogen petroleum hydrocarbon fractions with the catalyst of the present invention.
