Abstract:
A catalytic composition consisting essentially of an amorphous silica-alumina support having dispersed therein ultrastable, large-pore, substantially metal cation free, crystalline aluminosilicate material, a metal of Group VIA, and at least one metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of elements. A method of preparing this catalytic composition which comprises adding ions of the metals to a silica-alumina sol, adjusting the pH of the composition, precipitating the sulfides of the metals, adding finely divided aluminosilicate material, drying, and calcining the resultant mixture. A hydrocarbon-conversion process employing this catalytic composition, particularly a process for hydrocracking nitrogen-contaminated hydrocarbon fluids.
Abstract:
The catalyst comprises the oxides of cobalt and molybdenum deposited on a co-catalytic acidic cracking support comprising ultrastable, large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material and a silica-alumina cracking catalyst. This catalyst may be used in a hydrocracking process or a combination process for converting petroleum hydrocarbons to gasoline blending stock having an unleaded research octane number greater than about 105. The hydrocracking process comprises contacting the catalyst in a hydrocracking reaction zone under hydrocracking conditions with a feedstock having an initial boiling point of at least 350* F. The combination process comprises treating the hydrocarbons in the hydrocracking process, selectively solvent-extracting the aromatics from the resultant hydrocracked product to obtain an aromatic extract and a non-aromatic raffinate, catalytically reforming the non-aromatic raffinate, and blending the resultant catalytic reformate with aromatic extract.

ALUMINA. THE SECOND CATALYST MAY CONTAIN ALSO A SMALL AMOUNT OF RHENIUM. THE FIRST REFORMATE SHOULD POSSESS A PARAFFINS-TO-NAPHTHENES RATIO OF AT LEAST 5 TO 1. A PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON FRACTION IS CONTACTED IN A FIRST REFORMING ZONE WITH A FIRST CATALYST COMPRISING A GROUP VIII NOBLE METAL, A HALIDE, AND ALUMINA TO PRODUCE A FIRST REFORMATE, WHICH IS SUBSEQUENTLY CONTACTED IN A SECOND REFORMING ZONE WITH A SECOND CATALYST COMPRISING THE OXIDES OF CHROMIUM, A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AN OXIDE, OF AN ALKALI METAL, AN OXIDE OF AN ALKALINE EARTH METAL, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, AND
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION CONCERNS A HYDROCRACKING CATALYST INCLUDING AN ULTRATABLE MOLECULAR SIEVE IMPREGNATED WITH A PLATINUM ERIES METAL. THE SIEVE IS CHARACTERIZED BY (A) A MAXIMUM CUBIC CELL DIMENSION OF ABOUT 24.55 A., (B) AND 3625 CM.-18 AND (C) AN ALKALI METAL CONTENT OF LESS THAN ABOUT 1 WEIGHT PERCENT. THIS IMPREGNATED SIEVE IS DISPERSED IN A SILICA-ALUMINA MATRIX, AND THE SIEVE-MATRIX MIX IS IMPREGNATED WITH AN OXIDE OF A METAL, SULFIDE OF A METAL, OR A METAL IN GROUP VI OR VIII OF THE PERIODIC TABLE OTHER THAN THE PLATINUM SERIES METALS.
