  • Mixed oxides of transition metals, hydrotreatment catalysts obtained therefrom and preparation process
    Patent number: 10005071
    Abstract: New sulfide metal catalysts are described, containing Ni, Mo and W, an element Z selected from Si, Al and mixtures thereof, and possibly an organic residue, obtained by sulfidation of mixed oxide precursors, also new, characterized in that they comprise an amorphous phase and a wolframite iso structural crystalline phase, the crystallinity degree of said mixed oxides being higher than 0 and lower than 100%, preferably higher than 0 and lower than 70%. The catalysts of the invention are useful as hydrotreatment catalysts, and in particular as hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation and/or hydrodearomatization catalysts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 26, 2018
    Assignee: ENI S.P.A.
    Inventors: Angela Carati, Maria Federica Gagliardi, Marco Massimo Ferrari, Stefano Zanardi, Marcello Marella, Michele Tomaselli

  • Mixed oxides of transition metals, hydrotreatment catalysts obtained therefrom and preparation process
    Patent number: 9522394
    Abstract: New sulfide metal catalysts are described, containing Ni, Mo and W, an element Z selected from Si, Al and mixtures thereof, and possibly an organic residue, obtained by sulfidation of mixed oxide precursors, also new, characterized in that they comprise an amorphous phase and a wolframite isostructural crystalline phase, the crystallinity degree of said mixed oxides being higher than 0 and lower than 100%, preferably higher than 0 and lower than 70%. The catalysts of the invention are useful as hydrotreatment catalysts, and in particular as hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation and/or hydrodearomatization catalysts.
