Classification: CPC B  C | IPC B  C

Claim 12:
13. A method of making the slurry-phase catalyst composition of claim 1, the method comprising:
mixing a starting metal complex and the disulfide oil in a mixing vessel to form a catalyst composition precursor;
heating the catalyst composition precursor to an elevated temperature sufficient to dissolve at least a portion of the starting metal complex in the disulfide oil to form a mixed catalyst composition, wherein:
the mixed catalyst composition comprises both a liquid component and a solid component; and
during the heating of the catalyst composition precursor, at least a portion of the starting metal complex reacts with the disulfide oil to produce the first metal complex; and
transferring at least a portion of the mixed catalyst composition to a slurry-phase hydrocracking unit to form the slurry-phase catalyst composition.
