Hydrodesulfurization with a catalyst formed from an alumina sol containing alpha--alumina monohydrate

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7181240
Sulfur-containing petroleum hydrocarbon fractions are treated at hydrodesulfurization reaction conditions in contact with a catalytic composite comprising a Group VIII metal or metal oxide, a Group VIB metal or metal oxide, and an alumina support or carrier material. The alumina support is characterized by a method of preparation which results in improved hydrodesulfurization activity of the catalytic composite.
