  • Patent number: 10307739
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a catalyst for hydrocracking that is capable of decreasing the content of oxygen components contained in hydrocarbons synthesized from a vegetable fat or oil, an animal fat or oil, and/or a coal liquefaction oil each containing at least one selected from a fatty acid, a fatty acid ester, and an alkylphenol compound, and a hydrocarbon production method using the same. The catalyst for hydrocracking of the present invention contains a carrier containing a porous oxide, and nickel and molybdenum supported on the carrier, the catalyst for hydrocracking being subjected to a hydrogen reduction treatment, and having a mass ratio (X/(X+Y)) of a nickel content (X) in terms of nickel oxide (NiO) to the sum of the nickel content (X) in terms of nickel oxide (NiO) and a molybdenum content (Y) in terms of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) of 0.5 or more and 0.9 or less.
