Mixed metal catalyst, its preparation by co-precipitation, and its use

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hydroprocessing catalyst, to the catalyst composition obtainable by said process, and to the use of said catalyst composition in hydroprocessing applications. The process comprises the steps of combining and reacting at least one Group VIII non-noble metal component in solution and at least two Group VIB metal components in solution in a reaction mixture to obtain an oxygen-stable precipitate, and sulfiding the precipitate.
