PETROLEUM FRACTION HYDROFINING PROCESS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C10G45/08 B01J23/88 B01J37/20 B01J27/19 

FIELD: petroleum processing.

SUBSTANCE: invention, in particular, relates to petroleum fraction hydrofining process utilizing presulfided catalysts. Hydrofining process is described involving contacting petroleum fractions with presulfided catalyst containing alumina-carried cobalt, molybdenum, phosphorus, and boron, said process being conducted at 320-340°C, pressure 3.0-5.0 MPa, volumetric feed supply rate 1.0-6.0 h-1, normalized volumetric hydrogen-containing gas-to-feed ratio (500-1000):1 in presence of catalyst sulfided outside of reactor. Sulfidizing of catalyst is accomplished with hydrogen sulfide at 80-500°C and volumetric hydrogen sulfide flow rate 0.02-6.0 h-1. Chemical composition of catalyst is the following, wt %: MoS₂ 8.0-17.0, Co₃S₂ 1.5-4.0, P₂O₃ 2.5-5.0, B₂O₃ 0.3-1.0, La₂O₃ 1.0-5.0, and aluminum oxide - the balance.

EFFECT: simplified process.
