Abstract
Hydrocarbon conversion processes are described which use a sulfur tolerant catalyst system. The catalyst is tolerant to large amounts (about 30,000 ppm sulfur) in the feedstream and comprises a first component which comprises at least one Group VIII metal dispersed on an inorganic oxide support and a second component comprising a metal phthalocyanine dispersed on an inorganic oxide support. Preferred Group VIII metals are platinum and palladium, while preferred metal phthalocyanines are cobalt or nickel phthalocyanine. Preferred inorganic oxide supports are molecular sieves, aluminas and mixtures thereof. Processes which can be carried out using this catalyst system include reforming, hydrocracking, dehydrogenation and isomerization.
