Summary: | The present invention concerns a catalyst for hydrotreating and/or hydroconverting heavy metal-containing hydrocarbon feeds, said catalyst comprising a support in the form of mainly irregular and non-spherical alumina-based agglomerates the specific shape of which results from a crushing step, and containing at least one catalytic metal or a compound of a catalytic metal from group VIB and/or group VIII (groups 8, 9 and 10 of the new periodic table notation), optionally at least one doping element selected from the group constituted by phosphorus, boron and silicon (or silica which does not form part of that which may be contained in the selected support) and halogens, said catalyst essentially being constituted by a plurality of juxtaposed agglomerates each formed by a plurality of acicular platelets, the platelets of each agglomerate generally being oriented radially with respect to each other and with respect to the centre of the agglomerate. The specific shape of the catalyst improves its performance when using it for hydroconverting/hydrotreating heavy metal-containing hydrocarbon feeds. The invention also concerns the use of said catalyst alone or as a mixture in a fixed bed or ebullated bed reactor. |
