  • Patent number: 6325920
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the sulphurization of catalysts for the hydrotreating of hydrocarbon feedstocks. According to the invention, a small amount of at least one orthophthalic acid ester is added to the sulphurization agent used to sulphurize the catalyst.
