  • Preparation of a supported metal phthalocyanine catalyst
    Patent number: 4168245
    Abstract: A method of preparing a supported metal phthalocyanine catalyst is disclosed. A metal phthalocyanine is impregnated on a solid adsorptive support from an aqueous impregnating solution or dispersion of said metal phthalocyanine containing from about 5 to about 50 wt. ppm. morpholine. The prepared catalyst is particularly useful in the treatment of a sour petroleum distillate or fraction.
