Two existing hydrotreating units were redesigned to increase their operating range, and the necessary parts ordered. A new microactivity testing (MAT) unit was designed, and the parts ordered. Base-line testing procedures were improved, and the effect of unit parameters on catalytic activity was studied with borrowed Filtrol testing units. Synthesis and characterization of various catalytic components and matrix modifications was carried out. Sodium-Y zeolites with different silica-alumina ratios and different crystal sizes are being synthesized. Synthetic montmorillonite micas (SMM) in the ammonium (SMM-NH/sub 4/) form have been prepared with silica-alumina ratios from 2.16 to 2.58, and cation exchanged with Co and Ni. Lattice-substituted SMM (SMM-M) have been prepared on a laboratory scale with Ni/sup 2 +/, Co/sup 2 +/, and Fe/sup 3 +/ substituted for Al/sup 3 +/ in the octahedral coordination position. A series of relatively large pore size alumina supports with varying pore size distributions, and good strengths, have been prepared. These alumina supports have been made into hydrotreating catalysts by impregnation with different concentrations of CoO/MoO/sub 3/ and NiO/MoO/sub 3/.
