A process for upgrading a diesel fuel, includes the steps of providing a diesel fuel feedstock; hydrogenating the feedstock at a pressure of less than about 600 psig so as to provide a hydrogenated product wherein a portion of the feedstock is converted to alkyl-naphthene-aromatic compounds; and selectively oxidizing the hydrogenated product in the presence of a catalyst so as to convert the alkyl-naphthene-aromatic compounds to alkyl ketones. A catalyst and oxygen-containing Diesel fuel are also provided.

A water-in-hydrocarbon emulsion includes a water phase, a hydrocarbon phase and a surfactant, wherein the water phase is present in an amount greater than or equal to about 5% vol. with respect to volume of the emulsion, and the water phase and the surfactant are present at a ratio by volume of the water phase to the surfactant of at least about 1. A method for preparing the emulsion is also provided.

A process for treating a vacuum gas oil and Diesel feed includes the steps of providing reaction feed containing vacuum gas oil, Diesel and sulfur-containing compounds; providing a stripping gas; providing a washing feed; and mixing the reaction feed, the stripping gas and the washing feed in a stripping and washing zone so as to obtain a gas phase containing the sulfur-containing compounds and a liquid phase substantially free of the sulfur-containing compounds. The washing feed comprises at least one of Diesel, light vacuum gas oil and mixtures thereof produced in the process or added from external source.

A tri-elemental catalyst on a support that includes a pentasil crystalline zeolite and is suitable for hydrocracking and hydrogenation of aromatics-containing petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks such as hydrotreated cracked feedstock, virgin feedstock, vacuum distillate, middle distillate, mixtures thereof, and the like, is disclosed. The catalyst is suitable for hydrodesulfurization as well as hydrodenitrogenation, thus the feedstock can contain sulfur and nitrogen in addition to the aromatic components. Hydrocracking and aromatics hydrogenation of the petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks is accomplished under a relatively wide range of process conditions in plural process zones using the tri-elemental catalyst that contains a catalytically active metal phase constituted by a Group VI-B element, a Group VIII first transition series element and a Group VIII second transition series element. In an upstream zone the catalytically active metal phase is supported on a titania-alumina support containing about 5% to about 30% by weight titania in the support. In a downstream zone the catalytically active metal phase is supported on a titania-alumina-pentasil crystalline zeolite support. The preferred pentasil crystalline zeolite is ZSM-5.

Hydrocracking of feedstocks and catalyst therefor

A tri-elemental catalyst suitable for hydrocracking and hydrogenation of aromatics-containing petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks such as hydrotreated cracked feedstock, virgin feedstock, vacuum distillate, middle distillate, mixtures thereof, and the like, is disclosed. The catalyst is suitable for hydrodesulfurization as well as hydrodenitrogenation, thus the feedstock can contain sulfur and nitrogen in addition to the aromatic components. Hydrocracking and aromatics hydrogenation of the petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks is accomplished under a relatively wide range of process conditions using the tri-elemental catalyst that contains a catalytically active metal phase constituted by a Group VI-B element, a Group VIII first transition series element and a Group VIII second transition series element, all supported on a titania-alumina support containing about 5% to about 30% by weight titania in the support.

Hydrocracking of petroleum feedstocks using a tri-elemental catalyst

A catalyst suitable for mild-hydrocracking of cracked petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks and selective to diesel fuels contains a catalytically active metal phase constituted by a Group VI-B element, a Group VIII first transition series element and a Group VIII second transition series element, all supported on a titania-alumina support containing about 5% to about 30% by weight titania in the support. The support is prepared by combining titanium oxide and aluminum oxide hydrogels, in appropriate proportions, followed by extrusion, drying, and calcination. The catalytically active metal phase is introduced onto the support by impregnation followed by drying and calcination. The catalytically active metal phase is then sulfided. The produced catalyst is suitable for hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, mild-hydrocracking and aromatics hydrogenation of previously cracked petroleum hydrocarbon feedstocks.
