Hydrodesulfurization of oil utilizing a narrow pore size distribution catalyst

摘要

A catalyst is provided which comprises a hydrogenation component composited with an alumina-containing support. The catalyst has a median pore radius ranging from about 70 to about 95 Angstroms and a narrow specified pore size distribution in a range of 10 Angstroms above and 10 Angstroms below the median pore radius. A preferred catalyst is cobalt-molybdenum on alumina. Also provided is a hydrodesulfurization process utilizing said catalyst.
