PROCESS FOR THE HYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBON OILS

摘要

Process for the hydrogenation of hydrocarbon oils by contacting a hydrocarbon oil containing hydrogenatable components and having a boiling range between 130 and 520 DEG C with hydrogen under conditions causing substantial hydrogenation using a catalyst comprising one or more Group VIII noble metal(s) on a support wherein the support comprises a modified Y-type zeolite having a unit cell size between 24.20 and 24.30 ANGSTROM and a SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of at least 25 and recovering a product containing at least a fraction having a boiling point range between the 90 %w boiling point of the feedstock and the final boiling point of the feedstock and which fraction contains on a weight basis at least 50% of the material present in the boiling point range between the 90 %w boiling point of the feedstock and the final boiling point of the feedstock.
