  • Patent number: 5879539
    Abstract: The invention concerns a catalyst for conversion of hydrocarbon feeds. The catalyst is essentially constituted by 0.05% to 10% by weight of a precious metal and a silica (5-70%)/alumina support with a specific surface area of 100-500m.sup.2 /g. The catalyst has an average pore diameter of 1-12 nm, the pore volume of pores with diameters between the average diameter.+-.3 nm being more than 40% of the total pore volume. The dispersion of the precious metal is 20-100% and the distribution coefficient for the precious metal is greater than 0.1.The invention also concerns a process for the hydroisomerization of feeds with boiling points of more than 350.degree. C. using this catalyst. The process is operated between 200.degree. C. and 450.degree. C. at 2-25 MPa with a VVH of 0.1-10 h.sup.-1 and a hydrogen/feed volume ratio of 100-2000.

  • Patent number: 5834522
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the hydroisomerisation treatment for feeds from the Fischer-Tropsch process. The catalyst is essentially constituted by 0.05% to 10% by weight of a precious metal and a silica (5-70%)/alumina support with a specific surface area of 100-500 m.sup.2 /g. The catalyst has an average pore diameter of 1-12 nm, the pore volume of pores with diameters between the average diameter .+-.3 nm being more than 40% of the total pore volume. The dispersion of the precious metal is 20-100% and the distribution coefficient for the precious metal is greater than 0.1. The process is operated at 200.degree.-450.degree. C. at a partial pressure of hydrogen of 2 to 25 MPa with a VVH of 0.1-10 h.sup.-1 and a hydrogen/feed volume ratio of 100-2000.

  • Patent number: 5789637
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds contained in feeds with an initial boiling point of more than 100.degree. C. and which contain at least 10% by weight of aromatic compounds. It consists of introducing chlorine in a concentration of 0.5-500 ppm by weight with respect to the feed at a temperature of between 200.degree. C. and 450.degree. C., a pressure in the range 1 MPa to 25 MPa, an HSV of between 0.1 h.sup.-1 and 10 h.sup.-1 and a volume ratio of hydrogen to feed of 100-2000. The catalyst used is a noble metal type and contains less than 1% of at least one halogen. Preferably, the catalyst is fluorinated or chlorinated.

  • Patent number: 5762902
    Abstract: The invention concerns a composition comprising at least one matrix, at least one faujasite type zeolite and at least one TON type zeolite. The TON type zeolite can be Nu-10, THETA-1, KZ-2, or ISI-1. The catalyst also contains at least one hydrogenating element from groups VIII and VI.The catalyst is particularly for use for hydrocracking to maximize the yield of middle distillates (kerosine and gas oil).
