PROCESS FOR CONVERTING HYDROCARBON OILS AND CATALYST FOR USE IN SUCH A PROCESS

摘要

PROCESS FOR CONVERTING HYDROCARBON OILS AND CATALYST FOR USE IN SUCH A PROCESS A process for converting hydrocarbon oils into products of lower average molecular weight and lower average boiling point, comprising contacting a hydrocarbon oil at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of hydrogen with a hydrocracking catalyst, which catalyst comprises at least one hydrogenation component of a Group VI metal and/or Group VIII metal and zeolite Y particles and a binder which zeolite Y particles have an average crystallite size of less than 0.7 micrometer. Furthermore, the invention also relates to such catalyst.
