Catalyst compositions for conversion of vegetable oils to hydrocarbon products in the diesel boiling range and process of preparation thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalyst composition for conversion of vegetable oils to hydrocarbon products in the diesel boiling range, comprising a porous support; Group III A or VA element in the range of 1-10 wt%; Group VI B elements in the range of 1 to 20 wt%; Group VIII B elements in range of 0.01 to 10 wt%.. The present invention further provides the process for preparing the catalyst composition for conversion of vegetable oils to hydrocarbon products in the diesel boiling range. The present invention also provides the process for conversion of vegetable oils to hydrocarbon products in the diesel boiling range using the catalyst composition or discarded refinery spent hydrotreating catalyst.
