Abstract:
A catalyst composition comprising an alumina-aluminum phosphate-silica support bearing a halogen, a Group VI metal and a Group VIII metal in which the support has an average pore radius of from about 10. ANG. to about 300. ANG. , a surface area ranging from about 50 m. sup. 2 /g to about 400 m. sup. 2 /g and a pore volume of about 0. 1 to about 1. 5 cc/g. The catalyst composition is used for hydroprocessing oils and possesses significant hydrodenitrification activity.
