  • Patent number: 7341657
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for reducing sulfur and olefin contents in gasoline, comprising contacting gasoline feedstock and hydrogen with a hydrorefining catalyst and an paraffin-modification catalyst. The effluent of the process is separated to obtain a hydrotreated gasoline fraction free of mercaptan and having a low content of sulfur, e.g. less than 200 ppm, a low content of olefins, e.g. less than 20% by volume, and little octane loss. The hydrotreated gasoline fraction can be used as blending component of a final gasoline product.

  • Publication number: 20050137434
    Abstract: A catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of olefins especially dienes, its preparation and use, said catalyst comprising an alumina support and cobalt and/or nickel selected from Group VIII, molybdenum and/or tungsten from Group VIB and alkali metal components supported on said support, characterized in that the catalyst contains 0.5-8% by weight of cobalt and/or nickel selected from Group VIII, 2-15% by weight of molybdenum and/or tungsten from Group VIB, over 2-8% by weight of alkali metals, and a balanced amount of alumina support calculated for oxides and based on the catalyst. Compared to the prior catalysts, the activity and selectivity for olefins especially dienes of the catalyst are higher when used in the hydrogenation of a gasoline distillate.

  • Patent number: 6156190
    Abstract: A conversion process of hydrocarbon oils comprises at least a hydrodemercaptanization process, wherein said hydrodemercaptanization process comprises contacting a feedstock with a hydrofining catalyst containing a tungsten oxide and/or a molybdenum oxide, a nickel oxide and a cobalt oxide supported on an alumina under the conditions of hydrodemercaptanization, in which the content of said tungsten oxide and/or molybdenum oxide is from 4 wt % to less than 10 wt %, the nickel oxide content is 1-5 wt %, the cobalt oxide content is 0.01-1 wt % based on the catalyst, and the ratio of total atom number of nickel and cobalt to total atom number of nickel, cobalt, tungsten and/or molybdenum is 0.3-0.9. Said process can be carried out at a lower temperature and a lower H/oil volume ratio.

  • Patent number: 6037306
    Abstract: A hydrotreating catalyst containing molybdenum and/or tungsten for light oil distillates, said catalyst contains tungsten oxide and/or moybdenum oxide, nickel oxide and cobalt oxide supported on an alumina carrier, the content of said tungsten oxide and/or molybdenum oxide is from 4 wt % to less than 10 wt %, the content of nickel oxide 1.about.5 wt %, the content of cobalt oxide 0.01.about.1 wt %, the atom ratio of nickel-cobalt to nickel, cobalt-tungsten and/or molybdenum is 0.3.about.0.9. Compared with the prior art, the catalyst has lower metal content, but higher activity at low-temperature. The catalyst is especially suitable for use in the hydrodemercaptanization process of light oil distillates.
