Abstract
Abstract A catalyst effective in hydrotreating and hydrocracking sulfur- and nitrogen-containing hydrocarbon feeds at low pressure. The catalyst is prepared by incorporating a platinum group metal such as palladium in ZSM-20 or in dealuminized zeolite Y. Unlike most palladium catalyst, this catalyst is not poisoned by nitrogen and sulfur in the feed.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A process for effecting catalytic hydrocracking at low pressure of a hydrocarbon charge containing sulfur- and nitrogen-containing organic compounds which comprises contacting a mixture of said charge and hydrogen with a catalyst comprising a Group VIII metal-containing synthetic crystalline zeolite ZSM-20 said Group VIII metal being present in an amount between about 0.1 and 10.0%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
