<p>A process for the steam hydroconversion of light hydrocarbon feed stocks relatively deficient in hydrogen and high in sulfur, which process comprises passing the feed and steam into a steam hydroconversion zone over a dualfunction catalyst comprising molybdenum on a high surface area alumina base or on an iron oxide-chromium oxide base, said catalyst having been reduced and sulfided prior to use. A portion of the hydrocarbon is steam reformed to produce hydrogen in the reaction zone which is then used in situ to hydrogenate the olefins and aromatics in the feed and also removes sulfur therefrom, all processes occurring in the same reaction zone.</p> |
