  • LOW COST AND HIGH ACTIVITY HYDROPROCESSING CATALYST
    Publication number: 20130105364
    Abstract: A catalyst for hydrotreating heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks that comprises a calcined particle comprising a co-mulled mixture made by co-mulling an inorganic oxide material, molybdenum trioxide, a nickel compound and phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) solid, forming said co-mulled mixture into a particle, and calcining said particle to thereby provide said calcined particle.
    Type: Application

    Applicant: SHELL OIL COMPANY
    Inventor: Opinder K. BHAN
  • SELF-ACTIVATING HYDROPROCESSING CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR TREATING HEAVY HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS
    Publication number: 20130105357
    Abstract: A self activating catalyst for treating heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks that comprises a calcined particle comprising a co-mulled mixture made by co-mulling inorganic oxide powder, molybdenum trioxide powder, and a nickel compound and then forming the co-mulled mixture into a particle that is calcined to thereby provide the calcined particle. The self activating catalyst may be activated when it is contacted under suitable process conditions with a heavy residue feedstock having high nickel, vanadium and sulfur concentrations.
