Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A process for the hydrocatalytic desulphurisation of hydrocarbon fractions containing sulphur compounds and containing at least 25% by weight of material boiling above 550°C. which process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon fraction of the aforesaid type with hydrogen and with a catalyst comprising from 1 to 10% weight of an iron group metal, from 5-25% of a metal selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, chromium and tungsten, and from 0.1 to 10% weight of an alkaline earth metal on a carrier selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina and silica-alumina, all weights being be weight of total catalyst, contacting being carried out at a temperature in the range 150° to 600°C., a pressure in the range 10 to 500 bars gauge, a liquid hourly space velocity in the range 0.1 to 10 and a hydrogen gas flow rate in the range from 100 to 3600 m 3 /m 3 .
