Hydrodesulfurization with a catalyst containing alumina derived from aluminum sulfate and aluminum chloride hydrosol. [catalytic composite of a Group VIII metal or metal oxide, a Group VIB metal or metal oxide, and an alumina support or carrier material]

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7274934
Sulfur-containing petroleum hydrocarbon fractions are treated at hydrodesulfurization reaction conditions in contact with a catalytic composite of a Group VIII metal or metal oxide, a Group VIB metal or metal oxide, and an alumina support or carrier material. The alumina carrier material is characterized by a method of preparation which results in improved hydrodesulfurization activity of the catalytic composite. The carrier material is formed by the gelation of a hydrosol prepared by dissolving a basic aluminum sulfate in an aluminum chloride hydrosol.
