This invention relates to a catalyst for the hydrotreating of heavy hydrocarbon oils, which catalyst comprises a dual structure including a porous core (1), made chiefly of alumina, which has micropores having an average size smaller than 170 angstrom and to which at least one active metal is applied, and a surface layer (2) comprised mainly of at least one clay mineral selected from the group consisting of sepiolite, halloysite, attapulgite, palygorskite, and asbestos. The active metal may be applied to the surface layer (2) as desired.

Catalyst for the hydrotreating of heavy hydrocarbon oils

Provided is a method for the preparation of alumina or silica-alumina catalyst carriers which comprises blending a precursor of alumina or silica-alumina carriers with polytetrafluoroethylene resin particles, warming the blend and subjecting the same to a compression and shearing operation in a blender, followed by drying and baking.

Method for preparation of catalyst carriers

A process for the production of hydrogenation catalysts is disclosed which is characterized by the use of citric acid or malic acid as a stabilizer in a specified amount with respect to Group VI metal salts which are used in combination with Group VIII metal salts to produce an impregnating solution. The solution is impregnated with alumina or silica-alumina and calcined to form a catalyst.
