TODAY’S PATENT – HYDROPROCESSING CATALYSTS AND THEIR PRODUCTION

The said invention with the Patent Number US8722563B2 was registered by USPTO on May 13th, 2014.

The invention described here pertains to a catalyst precursor composition designed for use in hydroprocessing applications, particularly in the refining of petroleum products. The composition comprises specific metals from Group 6 (such as chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten) and metals from Groups 8-10 (such as iron, nickel, or palladium) of the Periodic Table of Elements. Additionally, the composition includes a reaction product formed from two distinct organic compounds: one containing at least one amine group, and the other containing at least one carboxylic acid group.

The combination of metals from Group 6 and Groups 8-10, along with the organic compounds, creates a synergistic effect that enhances the catalytic properties of the composition. These catalyst precursor compositions are crucial for initiating and accelerating chemical reactions, particularly in hydroprocessing reactions, which involve the removal of impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and metals from petroleum feedstocks. Overall, the invention offers a novel catalyst precursor composition with enhanced catalytic properties, particularly suited for hydroprocessing applications in the petroleum industry.
