Disclosed herein is a process for efficiently and stably producing high-quality kerosene and gas oil from crude oil or crude oil from which naphtha fraction is removed through the hydrotreatment of the crude oil by using a specific hydrotreatment catalyst; a process capable of prolonging the service life of the catalyst; a process capable of extending the continuous operation period of the process equipment; a process simplifying a petroleum refinery equipment; and the like. There are used, as hydrotreatment catalysts in the hydrotreatment of a hydrocarbon oil, the metals each belonging to any of the groups 6, 8, 9 and 10 of the Periodic Table which metals are supported on a carrier composed of alumina/boria, metal-containing aluminosilicate, alumina/an alkaline earth metal compound, alumina/phosphorus, alumina/titania or alumina/zirconia.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of heavy oil hydrogenation, precisely to a method of heavy oil hydrogenation for which a part of the catalyst to be used is a regenerated catalyst, and concretely to a method of heavy oil denitrification and to a method of heavy of desulfurization. It is characterized in that heavy oil is passed through a layer of a regenerated catalyst or a layer containing a regenerated catalyst. With the specific catalyst disposition employed in the method, heavy oil can be well hydrogenated under the same conditions as those for ordinary heavy oil hydrogenation with fresh catalysts. The method is significantly effective for efficient utilization of used catalysts.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hydrotreating catalyst composed of a carrier having a Brønsted acid content of at least 50 &mgr;mol/g such as a silica-alumina carrier or a silica-alumina-third component carrier, in which the silica is dispersed to high degree and a Brønsted acid content is at least 50 &mgr;mol/g, and at least one active component (A) selected from the elements of Group 8 of the Periodic Table and at least one active component (B) selected from the elements of Group 6 of the Periodic Table, supported on said carrier. The present invention also relates to a method for hydrotreating hydrocarbon oils using the same. The hydrotreating catalyst of the present invention provides excellent tolerance to the inhibiting effect of hydrogen sulfide, high desulfurization activity, and exhibits notable effects for deep desulfurization of hydrocarbon oils containing high contents of sulfur, in particular gas oil fractions containing difficult-to-remove sulfur compounds. The hydrotreating catalyst of the present invention is also very effective for hydrodenitrogenation, hydrocracking, hydrodearomatization, hydroisomerization, hydrofining and the like of hydrocarbon oils.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a process for the hydroprocessing of a hydrocarbon feedstock wherein said feedstock is contacted at hydroprocessing conditions with a catalyst composition which comprises bulk catalyst particles which comprise at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least two Group VIB metals. The Group VIII and Group VIB metals comprise from about 50 wt. % to about 100 wt. %, calculated as oxides, of the total weight of the bulk catalyst particles. The metals are present in the catalyst composition in their oxidic and/or sulfidic state. The catalyst composition has an X-ray diffraction pattern in which the characteristic full width at half maximum does not exceed 2.5° when the Group VIB metals are molybdenum, tungsten, and, optionally, chromium, or does not exceed 4.0° when the Group VIB metals are molybdenum and chromium or tungsten and chromium.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a process for reducing the sulphur content of a hydrocarbon feedstock to a value of less than 500 ppm, which process comprises contacting a feedstock with a 95% boiling point of 450° C. or less and a sulphur content of 0.1 wt. % or more in the presence of hydrogen under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure with a first catalyst comprising a Group VI hydrogenation metal component and a Group VIII hydrogenation metal component on an oxidic carrier, after which at least part of the effluent from the first catalyst is led to a second catalyst comprising a Group VI hydrogenation metal component and a Group VIII hydrogenation metal component on an oxidic carrier which comprises 1 to 15 wt. % of silica, calculated on the weight of the catalyst. The use of a silica-containing catalyst in the second bed shows an improvement over the use of a second catalyst with an alumina carrier in the production of products with a sulphur content of less than 500 ppm, preferably less than 350 ppm. An improvement in hydrodenitrogenation activity is also obtained.

This process for conditioning the catalyst before adding it to the reactor can comprise a step for impregnating the catalyst with a chemical substance, or a complete sulphurisation step, or a step for adding an additive mixed with the fresh catalyst which is added.
