Abstract

The invention relates to a catalyst comprising at least one metal selected from the group formed by metals of group VIB and of group VIII of the periodic table, used alone or as a mixture, and a support comprising at least one zeolite NU-86, at least one zeolite Y and at least one porous mineral matrix containing at least aluminum and/or at least silicon. The invention also relates to a process for hydrocracking of hydrocarbon feeds employing said catalyst.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A catalyst comprising at least one metal of group VIB or of group VIII of the periodic table, used alone or as a mixture, and a support comprising at least one zeolite NU-86, at least one zeolite Y and at least one porous mineral matrix containing at least aluminium and/or at least silicon, said catalyst comprising, in wt % relative to the total weight of the catalyst:
0.2 to 10%, of at least one zeolite NU-86,
0.4 to 40%, of at least one zeolite Y,
from 0.5 to 50% of at least one hydrogenating-dehydrogenating metal of group VIB or of group VIII,
1 to 99% of at least one porous mineral matrix comprising at least aluminium and/or at least silicon.

2. The catalyst according to claim 1 in which said zeolite Y is a dealuminized USY zeolite.

3. The catalyst according to claim 1 in which said porous mineral matrix is an alumina, doped alumina, silicalite, silica, aluminosilicate or a non-zeolitic crystalline molecular sieve, alone or as a mixture.

4. The catalyst according to claim 3 in which said porous mineral matrix is transition alumina or silica-alumina.

5. The catalyst according to claim 1 in which said catalyst comprises at least one hydrogenating-dehydrogenating metal of group VIB in combination with at least one group VIII base metal.

6. The catalyst according to claim 5 in which the content of group VIB metal, in oxide equivalent, is between 5 and 40 wt % relative to the total weight of said catalyst, and the content of group VIII base metal, in oxide equivalent, is between 0.5 and 10 wt % relative to the total weight of said catalyst.

7. A process for hydrocracking of hydrocarbon feeds, comprising contacting a hydrocarbon feed with the catalyst according to claim 1 , in the presence of hydrogen, at a temperature above 200° C., at a pressure above 1 MPa, at a space velocity between 0.1 and 20 h−1 and with an amount of hydrogen introduced such that the volume ratio liter of hydrogen/liter of hydrocarbon is between 80 and 5000 L/L.

8. The process according to claim 7 in which said process is carried out at a temperature between 250 and 480° C., at a pressure between 2 and 25 MPa, at a space velocity between 0.1 and 6 h−1, and with an amount of hydrogen introduced such that the volume ratio liter of hydrogen/liter of hydrocarbon is between 100 and 2000 L/L.

9. The process according to claim 7 in which said hydrocarbon feed is at least one light gas oil from a catalytic cracking unit, atmospheric distillate, vacuum distillate, feed from units for extraction of aromatics from lubricant oil bases or from solvent dewaxing of lubricant oil bases, distillate from fixed bed or ebullating bed processes for desulphurization or hydroconversion of atmospheric residues and/or of vacuum residues and/or of deasphalted oils, paraffin from the Fischer-Tropsch process or deasphalted oil, used alone or as a mixture.

10. The process according to claim 7 in which said process is applied in a known single-step process.

11. The process according to claim 10 in which said catalyst is employed in a hydrocracking zone positioned downstream of a hydrorefining zone, without employing any intermediate separation between the two zones.

12. The process according to claim 7 in which said process is applied in a known two-step process.

13. The process according to claim 12 in which said catalyst is employed in the second step of hydrocracking positioned downstream of the first step of hydrorefining, an intermediate separation being applied between the two zones.
