Abstract
Abstract In a hydroconversion process wherein a hydrocarbon feedstock is contacted with solid catalyst particles prepared by forming a hydrogel and then shaping the hydrogel into a pellet, and wherein said contacting is carried out at a temperature between 400* and 900*F., and a hydrogen partial pressure between 100 and 10,000 psig, the improvement which comprises preparing said catalyst by adding to said hydrogel a catalyst fines-water mixture containing at least 10 weight percent free water and at least 80 percent total water, before the hydrogel is shaped into a pellet.
