Definitions
- the invention relates generally to a hydroprocessing catalyst precursor, processes for preparing the catalyst precursor, multi-metallic catalysts prepared using the catalyst precursor, and hydroconversion processes employing the multi-metallic catalysts.
- TECHNICAL FIELD The petroleum industry is increasingly turning to heavy crudes, resids, coals and tar sands, i.e., lower grade hydrocarbon ("heavy oil"), as sources for feedstocks.
- the upgrading or refining of these feedstocks is accomplished by treating the feedstocks with hydrogen in the presence of catalysts to effect conversion of at least a portion of the feeds to lower molecular weight hydrocarbons, or to effect the removal of unwanted components, or compounds, or their conversion to innocuous or less undesirable compounds.
- the pore structure of catalysts is usually formed in the crystallization stage or in subsequent treatment. Depending on their predominant pore size, the solid materials are classified according to size into three categories; micropores (dimension smaller than 3.5 nm), mesopores (dimension ranging from 3.5 - 500 nm) and macropores (dimension larger than 500 nm).
- micropores dimension smaller than 3.5 nm
- mesopores dimension ranging from 3.5 - 500 nm
