Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'une charge, par exemple une huile légère de recyclage (LCO), ayant une grande teneur en impuretés S et/ou N et/ou une grande teneur en aromatiques, qui comprend les étapes suivantes, notamment dans un cet ordre, une étape de désulfurisation (HDS) et de dénitrification (HDN) d'une charge, notamment de LCO, que l'on fait passer en présence d'hydrogène sur un catalyseur, contenant des métaux du groupe VIB et VIII, conduisant à un effluent, facultativement une étape d'extraction de l'effluent, au moins une étape subséquente de désaromatisation (HDA) au cours de laquelle on fait passer au moins une partie de l'effluent, facultativement extrait, en présence d'hydrogène sur un catalyseur comprenant une combinaison de platine et de palladium supportée sur un support comprenant de la silice-alumine dispersée dans un liant à base d'alumine, la quantité de liant à base d'alumine étant de 5 à 50 % en poids par rapport au poids total de la silice-alumine et du liant à base d'alumine présent dans le support, et la silice-alumine comprenant 5 à 50 % en poids d'alumine par rapport au poids de la silice-alumine, et la récupération de la charge finale obtenue, l'utilisation d'un catalyseur spécifique et un procédé de préparation de diesel qui comprend l'étape consistant à mélanger l'effluent final obtenu par un procédé de l'invention.
