Abstract:
Highly aromatic hydrocarbon feedstocks are converted to jet fuel or diesel fuel using a sulfided, halogen promoted Group VIB - Group VIII metal on an alumina-containing support. The preferred catalyst is a presulfided, fluorine-promoted nickel-tungsten on silica-alumina catalyst wherein the nickel is present in amounts of between 18 and 22 weight percent based on the total catalyst weight.
