Abstract

A method for vacuum gas oil hydrocracking using a three-layered package of catalysts is proposed, in which the top layer is NiMo/Al2O3, the middle is NiM/AAS-Al2O3 and the bottom is NiM/Y-Al2O3, where M is molybdenum or tungsten, AAS-Al2O3 is a support with 70% amorphous aluminosilicate (AAS) and 30% aluminum oxide, and Y is an Al2O3 support with 30% zeolite Y and 70% alumina. The acidic properties of the catalysts are studied via the IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO. The morphology of sulfide particles on a catalyst’s surface is studied by means of transmission electron microscopy. Textural characteristics of the supports and catalysts are studied via nitrogen porosimetry. Packages containing NiMo and NiW catalysts in different combinations are tested in the hydrocracking of vacuum gas oil. It is shown that replacing NiMo/AAS-Al2O3 with NiW/AAS-Al2O3 in a catalyst package containing only NiMo considerably raises the yield of the diesel fraction.
