Patent ID: 8858784

Claim:
A process, comprising: mixing, at a temperature of from 375° C. to 500° C. and a pressure of from 3.4 MPa to 27.5 MPa, a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock containing at least 20 wt. % hydrocarbons having a boiling point of greater than 538° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM Method D5307, hydrogen, and a hydrocracking catalyst to form a mixture; where the hydrocracking catalyst is comprised of a material comprised of a first metal and a second metal where the first metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Bi, Ag, Mn, Zn, Sn, Ru, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Eu, Yb, Lu, Dy, Pb, and Sb, where the second metal is selected from the group consisting of Mo, W, Sn, and Sb, where the second metal is different from the first metal, wherein at least a portion of the material of the hydrocracking catalyst has a structure according to formula (I); where M is either the first metal or the second metal, and at least one M is the first metal and at least one M is the second metal; hydrocracking the hydrocarbon-containing feedstock; separating a vapor from the mixture, where the vapor contains a first hydrocarbon containing product comprised of one or more hydrocarbon compounds that are liquid at STP; apart from the mixture, contacting the first hydrocarbon-containing product with hydrogen and a catalyst comprising a Column 6 metal of the Periodic Table or a compound thereof at a temperature of from 270° C. to 425° C. and a pressure of from 3.4 MPa to 27.5 MPa to produce a second hydrocarbon-containing product.
