Abstract
A catalystic composite of a porous carrier material, a nickel component and a metal component selected from Groups I, II or V of the Periodic Table. When utilized in a hydrocracking process, to produce lower-boiling hydrocarbon products, for example gasoline boiling range hydrocarbons, the catalyst effectively inhibits excessive formation of liquefied petroleum gas of the propane/butane type, as well as lighter gaseous hydrocarbons. A preferred catalytic composite comprises a crystalline aluminosilicate, from about 0.1 percent to about 10.0 percent by weight of nickel and from about 0.01 percent to about 2.0 percent by weight of a metallic component selected from vanadium, lithium, beryllium or barium.
