Demetallation and hydrocracking of Arab heavy 650{degrees}F{sup +} resid over CoMo/carbon supported catalysts
- Mobil Research and Development Corporation, Princeton, NJ (United States)
Arab Heavy 650{degrees}F{sup +} atmospheric resid has been hydroprocessed over different CoMo/activated carbon catalysts and the results compared to processing with a conventional CoMo/alumina catalyst. Demetallation activity for the activated carbon catalysts depends on the activated carbon chosen as well as the way the Co and Mo metals are applied to the carbon. Hydroprocessing Arab Heavy 650{degrees}F{sup +} resid at 1500 psig showed that 87% demetallation over CoMo/Darco activated carbon was produced vs {approximately}73% demetallation over CoMo/alumina at about the same 1000{degrees}F conversion with 200-400 SCF/BBL less H-consumption. Desulfurization activity and CCR conversion were 10-20% higher for CoMo/alumina vs CoMo/Darco activated carbon, consistent with higher H-consumption. Potential advantages for resid processing over carbon supported catalysts induce high levels of demetallation, reduced costs for carbon vs alumina, and easy recovery of metals by catalysts combustion.
