Catalyst for the hydrotreating of heavy hydrocarbon oils.

摘要

@ This invention relates to a catalyst for the hydrotreating of heavy hydrocarbon oils, which catalyst comprises a dual structure including a porous core (1), made chiefly of alumina, which has micropores having an average size smaller than 170 angstrom and to which at least one active metal is applied, and a surface layer (2) comprised mainly of at least one clay mineral selected from the group consisting of sepiolite, halloysite, attapulgite, palygorskite and asbestos. The active metal may be applied to the surface layer (2) as desired.
