Abstract:
A hydrotreating catalyst for hydrocarbon oil having a hydrodesulfurization activity additionally improved by: simultaneously and continuously adding an aqueous solution of an acidic compound containing titanium and an aqueous solution containing an alkaline compound to a hydrosol containing an alumina hydrate particle at a temperature of 10 to 100° C. and a pH of 4.5 to 6.5; washing the resultant to remove a contaminating ion; forming the washed product after dehydration so as to have a moisture content at which it is formable; drying the resultant; impregnating the dried product with a catalytic component aqueous solution containing periodic table group 6 metal compound, periodic table group 8-10 metal compound, phosphorus compound, and saccharide; and drying the resultant; a manufacturing method for the catalyst; and a hydrodesulfurization treatment method for hydrocarbon oil using the catalyst.
Abstract:
A hydrogenation catalyst with a small amount of supported metal that is excellent in stability and inhibition of side reactions is provided. The catalyst hydrogenates an aromatic hydrocarbon compound into an alicyclic hydrocarbon compound, and a Group X metal represented by nickel is supported in a composite support including at least alumina and titania. The composite support preferably includes at least an alumina substrate coated with titania. It is also preferable that the Group X metal is prereduced by hydrogen. In the case that the Group X metal is nickel, the nickel content is preferably 5-35 wt % as nickel oxide in the catalyst. The substrate includes, for example, a porous structure formed by a plurality of needle-shaped or column-shaped intertwined three-dimensionally.
