Hydrotreatment/hydroconversion of heavy hydrocarbon charge in a fixed bed comprises reacting the fixed bed with a hydrogenated gas containing liquid hydrocarbon at 200-5000 cm 3> in the presence of a catalyst under reaction conditions of 320-450[deg]C, a partial pressure of 3-30 MPa, and a volumetric spatial velocity of 0.05-5 volumes of the charge per volume of catalyst per hour in which the catalyst having a support containing alumina, catalytic metal or a metal compound of the group VIB and/or VIII of the periodic table classification of the elements.

The support is prepared by: granulating an active alumina powder having a poorly crystallized and/or amorphous structure to obtain agglomerates in the form of balls; maturing the balls at 60-100[deg]C under humid condition and drying the balls; sifting the dried balls to recover a fraction of the balls; crushing the obtained fraction; calcinating the crushed fraction 250-900[deg]C; subjecting acid impregnation and hydrothermal treatment of the calcined fraction at 80-250[deg]C; and drying the treated fraction at 500-1100[deg]C.
