Generally unusable or difficultly useable dusts of ultrahigh purity silicon can be used to produce chlorosilanes under reasonable reaction conditions by employing a catalyst containing one or more of Co, Mo, W. The process may be incorporated into an integral plant for the production of polycrystalline silicon.

The present invention is in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Particularly, the present invention relates to a process for preparing catalysts advantageously usable in the hydrotreatment processes, for example in hydrodesulphurization, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodearomatization processes of hydrocarbons. More in particular, the present invention relates to a process for obtaining said catalysts, which comprise mixed oxides of Nickel, Aluminum, Molybdenum and Tungsten and optionally a transition metal Me selected from the group consisting of Zn, Mn, Cd, and a mixture thereof, an organic component C, and possibly an inorganic binder B. Said mixed oxides comprise an amorphous phase and a pseudo-crystalline phase isostructural to Wolframite. The present invention further relates to said hydrotreatment catalysts and a hydrotreatment process wherein said catalysts are used.

There is described a hydroprocessing process of at least one gas oil cut having a weighted mean temperature (TMP) between 240 C. and 350 C. using a catalyst comprising at least one metal of the group VIB and/or at least one metal of the group VIII of the periodic classification and a support comprising an amorphous mesoporous alumina having a connectivity (Z) greater than 2.7, the hydroprocessing process operating at a temperature between 250 C. and 400 C., at a total pressure between 2 MPa and 10 MPa with a ratio of hydrogen volume to volume of hydrocarbon-containing feedstock between 100 and 800 litres per litre and at an Hourly Volume Rate (HVR) which is defined by the ratio of the volume flow rate of liquid hydrocarbon-containing feedstock to volume of catalyst fed into the reactor between 1 and 10 h.sup.1.

A catalyst system has been designed that disrupts the sedimentation process. The catalyst system achieves this by saturating key feed components before the feed components are stripped into their incompatible aromatic cores. The efficacy of this disruptive catalyst system is particularly evident in a hydrocracker configuration that runs in two-stage-recycle operation. The catalyst is a self-supported multi-metallic catalyst prepared from a precursor in the hydroxide form, and the catalyst must be toward the top level of the second stage of the two-stage system.
