A hydrocracking catalyst having a support of a composite of mesoporous materials, molecular sieves and alumina, is used in the last bed of a multi-bed system for treating heavy crude oils and residues and is designed to increase the production of intermediate distillates having boiling points in a temperature range of 204? C. to 538? C., decrease the production of the heavy fraction (>538? C.), and increase the production of gasoline fraction (<204? C.). The feedstock to be processed in the last bed contains low amounts of metals and is lighter than the feedstock that is fed to the first catalytic bed.

The present invention relates to a hydrocracking catalyst, a process for preparing the same and use thereof. The present catalyst comprises a cracking component and a hydrogenation component, wherein the cracking component comprises from 0 to 20 wt. % of a molecular sieve and from 20 wt. % to 60 wt. % of an amorphous silica-alumina, the hydrogenation component comprises at least one hydrogenation metal in a total amount of from 34 wt. % to 75 wt. % calculated by the mass of oxides, each amount is based on the total weight of the catalyst. The present catalyst is prepared by directly mixing an acidic component powder material with an impregnating solution, impregnating, filtering, drying, molding, and drying and calcining.

A DLM-1 molecular sieve, a process for preparing the molecular sieve, and use thereof in treating an organic substance are provided. The DLM-1 molecular sieve is an Al-SBA-15 molecular sieve, and has a schematic chemical composition as represented by the formula first oxide*second oxide. The first oxide is silica, the second oxide is alumina, and the content by mass percent of alumina in the schematic chemical composition is 2% to 85%. The DLM-1 molecular sieve is suitable for the hydrodenitrogenation reaction of heavy distillate oil, and is favorable for improving the hydrodenitrogenation activity.
