Hydroisomerization catalyst, method of dewaxing hydrocarbon oil, process for producing base oil, and process for producing lube base oil

摘要

A hydroisomerization catalyst according to the present invention is obtained by calcining a catalyst composite including an ion-exchanged molecular sieve or a calcined material thereof which is obtained by performing ion exchange of a molecular sieve containing an organic template in a solution containing a cation species and using water as a main solvent and at least one metal which is selected from a group consisting of metals belonging to Groups 8-10 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, molybdenum, and tungsten supported on the ion-exchanged molecular sieve or a calcined material thereof.
