A process to treat a heavy hydrocarbon feed in a liquid-full hydroprocessing reactor is disclosed. The heavy feed has a high asphaltenes content, high viscosity, high density and high end boiling point. Hydrogen is fed in an equivalent amount of at least 160 liters of hydrogen, per liter of feed, l/l (900 scf/bbl). The feed is contacted with hydrogen and a diluent, which comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of recycle product stream. The hydroprocessed product has increased value for refineries, such as a feed for an fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit.

The present invention relates to a catalyst precursor composition comprising a first component having active sites, said first component being at least one of the surface modified clay and/or pore modified zeolite; and a second component being metal species comprising of at least one metal selected from Group VI B and at least one metal selected from VIII B and the second component is in intimate contact with the active sites of the first component. The present invention also provides a process for preparing the catalyst precursor composition. The present invention also relates to a catalyst composition and process of preparation thereof by using the catalyst precursor. More particularly, the present invention provides a catalyst composition suitable for converting hydrocarbon feeds to diesel range product.

Methods for manufacturing catalyst particles comprising one or more active metal components are provided. The particles are a composite of a granulating agent or binder material such as an inorganic oxide, and an ultra-stable Y (hereafter USY) zeolite in which some of the aluminum atoms in the framework are substituted with zirconium atoms and/or titanium atoms and/or hafnium atoms. The one or more active phase components are incorporated prior to mixing the binder with the post-framework modified USY zeolite, extruding the resulting composite mixture, and forming the catalyst particles. The one or more active phase components are incorporated in the post-framework modified USY zeolite prior to forming the catalyst particles.

Methods, catalysts, and corresponding catalyst precursors are provided for performing dewaxing of diesel or distillate boiling range fractions. The dewaxing methods, catalysts, and/or catalyst precursors can allow for production of diesel boiling range fuels with improved cold flow properties at desirable yields. The catalysts and/or catalyst precursors can correspond to supported base metal catalysts and/or catalyst precursors that include at least two Group 8-10 base metals supported on the catalyst, such as a catalyst/catalyst precursor including both Ni and Co as supported metals along with a Group 6 metal (i.e., Mo and/or W). The support can correspond to a support including a zeolitic framework structure. The catalyst precursors can be formed, for example, by impregnating a support including a zeolitic framework structure with an impregnation solution that also includes a dispersion agent.

The present disclosure is directed to methods of producing zincoaluminosilicate structures with AEI, CHA, and GME topologies using organic structure directing agents (OSDAs), and the compositions and structures resulting from these methods.

The present disclosure is directed to producing zeolite structures with GME topologies using organic structure directing agents (OSDAs) comprising a piperidinium cation, and the compositions and structures resulting from these methods. In some embodiments, the crystalline products have a molar ratio of a molar ratio of Si:Al that is greater than 3.5.

A composition of matter is provided comprising hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material having well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering of cubic symmetry. The composition possesses mesopores having walls of crystalline microporous material and a mass of mesostructure between mesopores of crystalline microporous material. Long-range ordering is defined by presence of secondary peaks in an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and/or cubic symmetry observable by microscopy.
