Abstract

The potential of B₂O₃-Al₂O₃-supported bimetallic Pt-Pd catalysts for aromatic hydrogenation of distillate was investigated. The activity measurements were carried out with hydrotreated light cycle oil (LCO)/straight-run light gas oil (SRLGO) feed containing 33vol% aromatics and 320 ppm sulfur under practical conditions. As a result, it appeared that Pt-Pd/B₂O₃-Al₂O₃ catalysts have much higher activity for aromatic hydrogenation as compared to Pt-Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts.
