Supported, Mn sulfide promoted Mo and W sulfide hydroprocessing catalysts and uses thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6529642
A process is described for hydrorefining a hydrocarbon feed which comprises contacting the feed at a temperature of at least about 150/sup 0/C and in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst obtained by compositing inorganic refractory oxide support material with one or more precursor salts and heating the composite at elevated temperature of at least about 150/sup 0/C, in the presence of sulfur or sulfur bearing compound and under oxygen-free conditions for a time sufficient to form the catalyst. The precursor salt contains a tetrathiometallate anion of Mo,W or mixture thereof and a cation containing at least one divalent promoter metal selected from the group consisting of manganese and a mixture of manganese with one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, Cu, Zn or mixture thereof.
