FIELD: catalysts in petroleum processing and petrochemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to catalysts for extensive hydrofining of hydrocarbon stock, in particular diesel fractions, to remove sulfur compounds. Catalyst of invention, intended for diesel fraction desulfurization processes, comprises active component, selected from oxides of group VIII and VIB metals and phosphorus, dispersed on alumina support, said alumina support containing 5-15% of montmorillonite, so that total composition of catalyst is as follows, wt %: molybdenum oxide MoO₃ 14.0-29.0, cobalt oxide CoO and/or nickel oxide 3-8, phosphorus 0.1-0.5, and support - the balance, molar ratio Mo/Co and/or Mo/Ni being 1.3-2.6 and P/Mo 0.08-0.1. Preparation of catalyst support consists in precipitation of aluminum hydroxide and addition of montmorillonite with moisture content 55-70% to water dispersion of aluminum hydroxide in amount such as to ensure 5-15% of montmorillonite in finished product, after which resulting mixture is extruded and extrudate is calcined at 500-600°C to give support characterized by specific surface 200-300 m²/g, pore volume 0.5-0.9 cm³/g, and prevailing pore radius 80-120 Å. Catalyst preparation comprises impregnation of calcined support with complex solution of group VIII and VIB metal salts and phosphorus followed by heat treatment in air or nitrogen flow at temperature not exceeding 200°C, impregnation solution notably containing molybdenum oxide and cobalt and/or nickel carbonate at Mo/Co and/or Mo/Ni molar ratio 1.3-2.6 stabilized with orthophosphoric acid and citric acid to P/Mo molar ratio between 0.008 and 0.1 at medium pH between 1.3 and 3.5. Described is also diesel fraction hydrodesulfurization process involving passage of diesel fraction through bed of above-defined catalyst.

EFFECT: intensified diesel fraction desulfurization.
