Patent ·
OSTI ID:6180046

This patent describes a process for denitrification of hydrocarbon oils. It comprises contacting the hydrocarbon oils with hydrogen in the presence of a layered catalyst comprising a first layer of a catalyst which comprises a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a nickel-molybdenum-phosphorus/alumina catalyst and a cobalt-molybdenum-phosphorus/alumina catalyst having a molybdenum content greater than about 14% by weight of the first layer catalyst and having an average pore size of at least about 60 {Angstrom} and comprising a second layer of a catalyst which comprises a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a nickel-tungsten/silica-alumina-zeolite and a nickel-molybdenum/silica-alumina-zeolite catalyst, where the zeolite component comprises at least about 2% by weight of the second layer catalyst.
