Abstract
Abstract The pour point of a hydrocarbon charge stock boiling above about 850° F., is reduced by catalytically dewaxing the charge stock in the presence of a zeolite catalyst and subsequently subjecting at least the liquid portion thereof to hydrotreating in the presence of a hydrotreating catalyst comprising a hydrogenating component and a siliceous porous crystalline material from the class of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-23 and ZSM-35 zeolites.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A process for catalytically dewaxing and hydrotreating a waxy hydrocarbon fraction boiling above approximately 850° F. which comprises: (a) contacting said fraction with a dewaxing catalyst under conditions sufficient to effect at least a partial dewaxing of said fraction; and (b) contacting the reaction product thereby obtained with hydrogen and a hydrotreating catalyst comprising a hydrogenation component and one or more zeolites selected from the group consisting of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-23, and ZSM-35 blended with a refractory inorganic oxide to form an extrudate, said extrudate having a metal hydrogenation component present therein in a concentration of metal in elemental oxide, or sulfide form of between about 0.05 and about 25 percent by weight and a concentration of zeolite in said extrudate of between about 5 and about 40 percent by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A process for catalytically dewaxing and hydrotreating a waxy hydrocarbon fraction boiling above approximately 850° F. which comprises: (a) contacting said fraction with a dewaxing catalyst under conditions sufficient to effect at least a partial dewaxing of said fraction; and (b) contacting the reaction product thereby obtained with hydrogen and a hydrotreating catalyst comprising a hydrogenation component and one or more zeolites selected from the group consisting of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-23, and ZSM-35 blended with a refractory inorganic oxide to form an extrudate, said extrudate having a metal hydrogenation component present therein in a concentration of metal in elemental oxide, or sulfide form of between about 0.05 and about 25 percent by weight and a concentration of zeolite in said extrudate of between about 5 and about 40 percent by weight.
