COMPOSITION AND PROCESS THEREOF FOR CATALYST FOR HYDRO- CONVERSION OF LCO INVOLVING PARTIAL RING OPENING OF POLY- AROMATICS

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalyst composition and a process for preparing thereof, wherein the catalyst composition is specifically active for hydro-conversion of LCO involving mainly the partial ring opening of multi-ring aromatics leading to the production of petrochemical feedstock. The catalyst composition comprises of a carrier comprising ultra-stable Y zeolite and binder alumina, group VIB and VIIIB metal species, and organic additives. The carrier is impregnated with metal solution to form active sites of WS₂ slabs of dimensions in the range of 35-45 Å.
