In a previous study the development of a single catalyst system was reported which had the unique ability to sequentially saturate, denitrogenate and hydrocrack a whole shale oil into high yields of jet fuel on a once through basis. Examination of the kinetics suggested that improvements in the process and in catalyst activity could be achieved by using a dual catalyst system. The dual catalyst system would consist of the ...
A catalyst development and screening program has led to a formulation capable of upgrading whole shale oil into high yields of military jet fuel in a single operation. The catalyst is multifaceted in its functionality in that it sequentially saturates, denitrogenates, and hydrocracks the feedstock in the presence of high levels of contaminants, such as organic nitrogen compounds and ammonia, while maintaining a high selectivity towards jet-fuel, boiling range material. ...
