CATALYST FOR A HYDROGENATION DEWAXING PROCESS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a bifunctional catalyst for a hydrogenation dewaxing process with improved isomerization selectivity and to a method for manufacturing same, and more particularly to a bifunctional catalyst and to a method for manufacturing same, which is characterized in that EU-2 zeolite with a controlled degree of phase transformation is used as a carrier having an acid site. The EU-2 zeolite, the degree of phase transformation of which is controlled, includes, by controlling synthesis parameters of EU-2, predetermined amounts of materials that are phase-transformed from EU-2 crystals such as cristobalite and quartz. The metal-containing bifunctional catalyst according to the present invention improves selectivity of the isomerization process, rather than a cracking reaction, during a conversion reaction of n-hexadecane. Therefore, the bifunctional catalyst can be widely used as a catalyst for a dewaxing process such as lubricant base oil and diesel oil.
