Abstract
Abstract A process for hydrocracking gas oil boiling range hydrocarbon feeds comprising contacting the feed with hydrogen under hydrocracking conditions in the presence of a catalyst comprising an active metallic component comprising at least one metal having hydrogenation activity and at least one oxygenated phosphorus component, and a support component comprising at least one non-zeolitic, porous refractory inorganic oxide matrix component and at least one crystalline molecular sieve zeolite component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A process for hydrocracking gas oil boiling range hydrocarbon feeds comprising contacting the feed with hydrogen under hydrocracking conditions in the presence of a catalyst comprising an active metallic component comprising at least one metal having hydrogenation activity and at least one oxygenated phosphorus component, and a support component consisting essentially of at least one non-zeolitic, porous refractory inorganic oxide matrix component selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, zirconia, titania, magnesia and combinations thereof are at least one crystalline molecular sieve zeolite component, wherein the gas oil boiling range feed boils at about 400° to about 1000° F. and contains up to about 0.1 wt% nitrogen and up to about 2 wt% sulfur, and wherein the hydrocracking conditions comprise a temperature of from about 650° F. to about 850° F. and a total pressure of from about 1000 psi to about 3000 psi.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
