HYDRODESULFURIZATION CATALYST FOR HYDROCARBON OIL

摘要

Provided, as a hydrodesulfurization catalyst having unprecedentedly higher performance, is a hydrodesulfurization catalyst that is obtained by causing at least one metal component selected from groups VIA and VIII of the periodic table to be carried on a carrier having a diffraction peak surface area indicating a crystal structure on the boehmite (020) plane as measured by X-ray diffractometry that is at least 1/10 of the diffraction peak surface area indicating a crystal structure of aluminum ascribed to the γ-alumina (440) plane, wherein the hydrodesulfurization catalyst is characterized in that the metal component selected from group VIII has a molar ratio of 0.13 to 0.22 with respect to the metal component selected from group VIA.
