Patent ·
OSTI ID:6113145
A method is described for hydrotreating residual oil which comprises contacting the oil with a hydrotreating catalyst which contains a thermally stable composition comprising a layered metal oxide containing an interspathic polymeric oxide having a d-spacing of at least about 10 angstroms at hydrotreating conditions which include a temperature ranging from about 357/sup 0/ to 454/sup 0/C (675/sup 0/F to 850/sup 0/F), a hydrogen partial pressure of at least about 2860 kPa (400 psig) and a liquid hourly space velocity ranging between about 0.1 and 10 hr/sup -1/, wherein the layered metal oxide is a layered silicate selected from the group consisting of magadiite, natrosilite, kenyaite, makatite and kanemite.
