Abstract:
A hydrogenation catalyst for hydrocarbon oil containing aromatic hydrocarbons, the catalyst comprising a carrier and an active metal wherein the pore characteristics of the catalyst are such that the volume of pores with a pore size of at least 4 nm as measured by a mercury porosimetry method is within the range from 0.3 to 0.6 ml/g, the volume of pores with a pore size of at least 200 nm as measured by a mercury porosimetry method is no more than 0.05 ml/g, the volume of pores with a pore size from 0.7 to 2 nm as measured by nitrogen adsorption-t-plot method is within the range from 0.2 to 0.3 ml/g, and the volume of pores with a pore size from 2 to 4 nm as measured by nitrogen adsorption-DH method is within the range from 0.15 to 0.2 ml/g.
