A spent hydrotreating catalyst composition is regenerated by a two-step heating process under such conditions as to substantially remove all carbonaceous deposits therefrom and to increase the average pore diameter of the catalyst composition. The thus-prepared regenerated catalyst composition is employed in a process for hydrotreating metal-containing oils.

Regeneration of hydrotreating catalyst

Support material containing catalyst for fixed hydrofining beds

An active hydrotreating catalyst composition is prepared by a process comprising the steps of (a) grinding a spent hydrotreating catalyst containing carbonaceous deposits, (b) mixing the ground spent catalyst with an alumina-containing material (preferably alumina), (c) shaping (preferably extruding) the mixture of ground spent catalyst and alumina-containing material and (d) heating the shaped mixture so as to burn off carbonaceous deposits on the ground spent catalyst component. The thus-prepared active hydrotreating catalyst is used in a process for hydrotreating hydrocarbon containing feed streams (oils) which contain metal impurities.

Preparation of hydrotreating catalyst from spent catalyst

A hydrotreating process comprises contacting a substantially liquid hydrocarbon-containing feed stream, which contains compounds of sulfur and metals (preferably Ni and/or V), in the presence of a fixed catalyst bed comprising at least one layer of substantially spherical alumina-containing particles which have been prepared by heating a specific starting material at about 500.degree.-900.degree. C. for improved crush strength retention. In a preferred embodiment, the fixed catalyst bed further comprises at least one layer (b) of catalyst particles comprising a refractory inorganic carrier and at least one hydrogenation promoter. A fixed catalyst bed comprising layers (a) and (b) is provided.

Hydrofining employing a support material for fixed beds

A catalyst composition comprises (a) alumina, (b) zinc titanate, (c) at least one compound of molybdenum, (d) at least one compound of at least one of nickel and cobalt, and (e) at least one compound containing phosphorus and oxygen. This catalyst composition is used for hydrotreating a liquid hydrocarbon-containing feed stream (such as a heavy oil) which contains compounds of nickel, vanadium and sulfur, under such conditions as to obtain a product having reduced levels of nickel, vanadium and sulfur.

Hydrotreating catalyst and process

A catalyst composition comprises (a) alumina, (b) zinc titanate, (c) at least one compound of molybdenum, (d) at least one compound of at least one of nickel and cobalt, and (e) at least one compound of rhenium. This catalyst composition is used for hydrotreating a liquid hydrocarbon-containing feed stream, which contains organic compounds of sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen under such conditions as to obtain a product having reduced levels of sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. Preferably the hydrocarbon-containing feed stream contains cycloalkanes, which are at least partially reformed to aromatic compounds.

Hydrotreating catalyst composition

The catalytic hydrotreating of a residual oil-containing feedstream is carried out in a multi-catalyst bed in which the feedstream is first contacted with a catalyst bed which comprises of alumina, cobalt, molybdenum and nickel. The feedstream is then contacted with a second catalyst bed which contains a catalyst comprising alumina to which molybdenum, titanium and nickel have been added, followed by a third catalyst bed which contains a catalyst comprising alumina to which molybdenum and nickel have been added.
