Abstract

Hydrocracking of n-hexane and diesel oil fraction over presulfided NiMo, Mo and Ni catalysts has been carried out using a high pressure flow reactor system. The ion-exchanged form of ZSM-5 extrudates (50% alumina binder) was loaded with 2-20 wt.% of metals. The results indicate that, using Ni/H-ZSM-5 zeolite obtained by incorporation of nickel by ion exchange treatment of NH4-ZSM-5 from nickel nitrate solution, it is possible to obtain sufficiently active catalysts for low-temperature hydrocracking process. The catalysts containing Ni-ZSM-5 zeolites (Ni/H-ZSM-5 or Ni/Na-ZSM-5) were superior to catalyst prepared by using P/H-ZSM-5. It was found that nickel was an essential hydrogenation components of low temperature hydrocracking catalysts.
