Patent number: 6267874Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrotreating catalyst composed of a carrier having a Brønsted acid content of at least 50 &mgr;mol/g such as a silica-alumina carrier or a silica-alumina-third component carrier, in which the silica is dispersed to high degree and a Brønsted acid content is at least 50 &mgr;mol/g, and at least one active component (A) selected from the elements of Group 8 of the Periodic Table and at least one active component (B) selected from the elements of Group 6 of the Periodic Table, supported on said carrier. The present invention also relates to a method for hydrotreating hydrocarbon oils using the same. The hydrotreating catalyst of the present invention provides excellent tolerance to the inhibiting effect of hydrogen sulfide, high desulfurization activity, and exhibits notable effects for deep desulfurization of hydrocarbon oils containing high contents of sulfur, in particular gas oil fractions containing difficult-to-remove sulfur compounds.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: July 31, 2001Assignee: TonenGeneral Sekiyu K.K.Inventors: Masahiko Iijima, Yoshinobu Okayasu
