Hydrocarbon: hydrodesulfurization utilizing a catalyst of germanium group VI-B and VIII components of alumina

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7354151
A desulfurization catalyst comprising a cogel of catalytically active amounts of a hydrogenation component which includes a Group VIB or VIII metal, or both, and a Group IVA metal, notably germanium, and a porous inorganic oxide support, notably alumina is described. Such catalysts are particularly effective in the hydrodesulfurization of naphthas, gas oils, whole heavy crudes and residua. (auth)
