Patent number: 4743574Abstract: A cobalt-molybdenum catalyst and a method for preparing same, said catalyst useful for the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of distillates of petroleum. The catalyst is supported by aluminum phosphate or an aluminum borate. In a preferred embodiment the catalyst has a low cobalt content, between 0.5% and 2.0% by weight calculated as CoO, and a molybdenum content of between 10% and 20% by weight, calculated as MoO.sub.3. The phosphorus or boron compounds added to the aluminum before the impregnation of the active metals prevents the formation of undesirable compounds of the CoAl.sub.2 O.sub.4 type, which is inactive in HDS. It is for that reason that the catalyst has a formulation with 70% less cobalt than the previous state-of-the-art catalysts. Very small crystals, highly dispersed on the surface of the catalyst, whose formula is CoMoO.sub.4, are responsible for the stability and the high level of activity in HDS and HDN which results.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1986Date of Patent: May 10, 1988Assignee: Intevep, S.A.Inventors: Alfredo L. Morales, Juan J. Garcia

Patent number: 4742036Abstract: The invention relates to catalyst plates for reducing nitrogen oxide in exhaust gases. These plates are molded of granular Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 catalyst material and a binder. To achieve high activity and strength in the plates, these are molded of a combination of a first mixture comprised of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 catalyst material and phosphoric acid as binder, and a second, separately-produced mixture comprised of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 catalyst material and sulphuric acid as binder. The plates can also be a molding having layers, which layers have alternate layers of the first and second mixtures.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1986Date of Patent: May 3, 1988Assignee: Didier-Werke AGInventors: Claus Flockenhaus, Daniel Grimm, Hartmut Kainer, Karl H.

Patent number: 4738944Abstract: A hydroprocessing catalyst contains nickel, phosphorus and about 19 to about 21.5 weight percent of molybdenum (MoO.sub.3) components on a porous refractory oxide. The catalyst has a narrow pore size distribution wherein at least 75 percent of the pore volume is in pores of diameter from about 50 to about 110 angstroms, at least 10 percent of the pore volume in pores of diameter less than 70 angstroms and at least 60 percent of the pore volume in pores of diameter within about 20 angstroms above or below the average pore diameter. The catalyst is employed to hydroprocess a hydrocarbon oil, especially those oils containing sulfur and nitrogen components.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1986Date of Patent: April 19, 1988Assignee: Union Oil Company of CaliforniaInventors: Paul R. Robinson, Howard D. Simpson
