SELECTIVE CATALYSTS HAVING HIGH TEMPERATURE ALUMINA SUPPORTS FOR NAPHTHA HYDRODESULFURIZATION

摘要

This invention relates to a catalyst and method for hydrodesulfurizingnaphtha. More particularly, a Co/Mo metal hydrogenation component is loaded ona high temperature alumina support in the presence of a dispersion aid toproduce a catalyst that is then used for hydrodesulrurizing naphtha. The hightemperature alumina support has a defined surface area that minimizes olefinsaturation.
