  • Patent number: 8795513
    Abstract: Provided is a catalyst for hydrocracking of heavy oil which is excellent in both functions of cracking activity and desulfurization activity with respect to heavy oil by striking a balance between the cracking activity and desulfurization activity and which includes a support including a crystalline aluminosilicate and a porous inorganic oxide excluding the crystalline aluminosilicate, with an active metal being supported on the support, in which (a) the support includes the crystalline aluminosilicate in an amount of 45% by mass or greater and smaller than 60% by mass and the porous inorganic oxide excluding the crystalline aluminosilicate in an amount of greater than 40% by mass and 55% by mass or smaller, based on the sum of an amount of the crystalline aluminosilicate and an amount of the porous inorganic oxide excluding the crystalline aluminosilicate, (b) the active metal is at least one kind of metal selected from metals belonging to Groups 6, 8, 9, and 10 of the Periodic Table, and (c) the catalyst fo

  • Publication number: 20110086755
    Abstract: A catalyst for hydrocracking of heavy oil which comprises a support comprising crystalline aluminosilicate and a porous inorganic oxide excluding the crystalline aluminosilicate and an active metal supported on the support, wherein (a) the support comprises the crystalline aluminosilicate in an amount of 18% by mass or greater and smaller than 45% by mass and the porous inorganic oxide in an amount exceeding 55% by mass and of 82% by mass or smaller based on a sum of the amount of the crystalline aluminosilicate and the amount of the porous inorganic aluminosilicate, (b) the active metal is at least one metal selected from molybdenum, tungsten and nickel, and (c) the distribution of pores in the catalyst for hydrocracking of heavy oil is such that a volume of pores having a diameter of 500 to 10,000 ? is 10% or smaller and a volume of pores having a diameter of 100 to 200 ? is 60% or greater based on a volume of entire pores having a diameter of 50 to 10,000 ?.
