Abstract: A catalyst for hydrotreating and/or hydroconverting heavy metal-containing hydrocarbon feeds, comprises a support in the form of mainly irregular and non-spherical alumina-based agglomerates the specific shape. The catalyst is prepared by a specific order of steps: crushing, calcining, acidic autoclaving, drying, further calcining and impregnation with catalytic metals.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a catalyst for hydrotreating and/or hydroconverting heavy metal-containing hydrocarbon feeds, said catalyst comprising a support in the form of mainly irregular and non-spherical alumina-based agglomerates the specific shape of which results from a crushing step, and containing at least one catalytic metal or a compound of a catalytic metal from group VIB and/or group VIII (groups 8, 9 and 10 of the new periodic table notation), optionally at least one doping element selected from the group constituted by phosphorus, boron and silicon (or silica which does not form part of that which may be contained in the selected support) and halogens, said catalyst essentially being constituted by a plurality of juxtaposed agglomerates each formed by a plurality of acicular platelets, the platelets of each agglomerate generally being oriented radially with respect to each other and with respect to the centre of the agglomerate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for direct oxidation into sulfur and/or into sulfate of sulfur-containing compounds that are contained in an amount that is less than 10% by volume in a gas, in which said gas is brought into contact with an oxidation catalyst that comprises a substrate and an active phase that comprises iron in a proportion of between 2 and 5% by weight of the oxidation catalyst at a temperature of less than 200° C. and in the presence of oxygen.

Abstract: A process is described for eliminating sulphur from a feed containing hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, carbon oxysulphide and/or carbon sulphide and a minimal quantity of benzene, toluene and/or xylenes in at least one reaction zone containing a catalyst, and recovering elemental sulphur and an effluent that is at least partially free of sulphur, the process being characterized in that the catalyst used is at least one catalyst containing a support comprising at least one compound selected from de group formed by alumina, titanium oxide and zirconia, the support further comprising at least one doping element selected from the group formed by iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and vanadium.
