Abstract
Abstract Demetalation and desulfurization of residual petroleum oil is carried out with hydrogen and with an alumina base catalyst incorporating a Group VI-B and a Group VIII metal. The catalyst has at least 60% of its pore volume in pore diameters within the range of 100-200 Angstroms, at least 5% of its pore volume is in pore diameters greater than 500 Angstroms, at least 5% of its pore volume is in pore diameters less than 40 Angstroms and the surface area of the catalyst is 40-150 m.sup.2 /g, preferably a surface area up to about 110 m.sup.2 /g.
