Abstract:
1. A method of producing a crude product, comprising: contacting a crude feed with one or more catalysts to produce a total product that includes the crude product, wherein the crude product is a liquid mixture at 25° C. and 0.101 MPa, the crude feed has a MCR content of at least 0.001 grams per gram of crude feed, and at least one of the catalysts is an uncalcined catalyst obtainable by: combining a support with one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, one or more compounds of one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, or mixtures thereof, to produce a catalyst precursor; and producing an uncalcined catalyst by heating the catalyst precursor in the presence of one or more sulfur containing compounds at a temperature below 370° C.; and controlling contacting conditions such that the crude product has a MCR content of at most 90% of the MCR content of the crude feed, wherein MCR content is as determined by ASTM Method D4530.
