  • Hydrotreating of petroleum residuum using shaped catalyst particles of small diameter pores
    Patent number: 4028227
    Abstract: Shaped catalyst particles having a polylobal cross-section are utilized in hydrotreating a petroleum residuum to obtain a desulfurized product. The catalyst particles have a surface area greater than 150 m.sup.2 /g and a catalyst pore volume of 0.35-0.85 cc/g resulting from a major portion of pores of diameters in the range 40-90A.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 1976
    Date of Patent: June 7, 1977
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventor: William Roy Gustafson
  • Hydrotreating of petroleum distillates using shaped catalyst particles
    Patent number: 3990964
    Abstract: There is disclosed a hydrotreating process for petroleum distillate which comprises contacting the distillate with catalyst particles of special shape characteristics in the presence of hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure.
