Mild hydrocracking with a catalyst containing an intermediate pore molecular sieve

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6184413

A process is described for mild hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising contacting the feedstock containing feed components boiling above 700/sup 0/F under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure less than about 1,500 p.s.i.g. with a particulate catalyst comprising at least one active hydrogenation metal component selected from the group consisting of Group VIB and Group VIII metals in combination with (1) a dispersion of silica-alumina in a matrix consisting essentially of alumina and (2) a crystalline intermediate pore molecular sieve comprising a silicoaluminophosphate having a pore size between about 5 and 7 angstroms, These conditions yield about a 10 to about a 50 volume percent conversion of the feed components boiling above 700/sup 0/F to product components boiling at or below 700/sup 0/F.
