  • Patent number: 9006126
    Abstract: A composition that comprises a support material that is loaded with an active metal or metal precursor and an additive that comprises an ether amine compound and, preferably, a morpholine compound as an additional component of the ether amine containing additive. The ether amine containing additive impregnated composition is useful in the hydroprocessing of hydrocarbon feedstocks. The ether amine containing additive impregnated composition is prepared by incorporating a metal solution into a support material followed by incorporating therein the ether amine containing additive.
