Abstract

Abstract Novel hydrogenation catalysts are formed by impregnating a suitable support material with an aqueous solution of a salt of a transition metal; heat-treating the impregnated support at a temperature above 500*F. to form chemical complexes on the surface of the support and to drive off moisture and absorbed oxygen; activating the surface complex by contacting the impregnated support with a soluble organometallic compound wherein the metal constituent is selected from Groups I, II and III of the Periodic Chart of the Elements; treating the activated support material in the presence of hydrogen at a temperature of at least 300*F., and thereafter reacting the hydrogen treated activated support material with hydrogen sulfide. The so-formed novel supported sulfided catalysts are highly active for the hydrogenation of organic feedstocks containing relatively high concentration of sulfur in the feedstocks.
