Abstract:
A process for the hydroprocessing of a hydrocarbon feedstock wherein said feedstock is contacted at hydroprocessing conditions with a catalyst composition which comprises bulk catalyst particles which comprise at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least two Group VIB metals, said Group VIII and Group VIB metals comprising from about 50 wt. % to about 100 wt. %, calculated as oxides, of the total weight of said bulk catalyst particles, said metals being present in the catalyst composition in their oxidic and/or sulfidic state, the catalyst composition having an X-ray diffraction pattern in which the characteristic full width at half maximum does not exceed 2.5Â° when the Group VIB metals are molybdenum, tungsten, and, optionally, chromium, or does not exceed 4.0Â° when the Group VIB metals are molybdenum and chromium or tungsten and chromium.
