Title: Hydrofining process for hydrocarbon containing feed streams

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5782488

A process is described for hydrofining a hydrocarbon-containing feed stream consisting of: introducing the reaction product of a mercaptoalcohol and a molybdenum compound selected from the group consisting of molybdic acids, alkali metal salts of molybdic acids and ammonium salts of molybdic acids into the hydrocarbon-containing feed stream, wherein a sufficient quantity of the reaction product is added to the hydrocarbon-containing feed stream to result in a concentration of molybdenum in said hydrocarbon-containing feed stream in the range of about 1 to about 60 ppm; and contacting the hydrocarbon-containing feed stream containing the reaction product under suitable hydrofining conditions with hydrogen and a catalyst composition comprising a support comprising a refractory material selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica and silica-alumina and a promoter comprising at least one metal selected from Group VIB, Group VIIB and Group VIII of the Periodic Table.
