Abstract

The differences in the properties and cracking activity of β-zeolite and USY-zeolite based catalysts were studied. The hydrocracking activity of all the prepared catalysts was measured using hydrotreated VGO (HT-VGO) as feed in a batch autoclave reactor. Hydrotreating of one of the catalysts containing β-zeolite was comparable to a commercial hydrocracking catalyst. Catalysts from both series showed promising results for HT-VGO hydrocracking in the batch reactor. Mixed catalyst support in form of extrusions did not show much promise as expected. Thermal analysis showed greater stability of β-zeolite than USY-zeolite.
