A Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Middle Distillates

A catalyst is proposed for hydrogenation of middle distillates. The results of testing it are reported. It is shown that this catalyst is more resistant to sulfur–containing compounds and ensures hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons in mild conditions. In contrast to existing industrial catalysts that contain nickel, chromium, etc., as hydrogenating components, hydrogenation can be conducted on the proposed catalyst without preliminary hydrotreating.
