18 Claims

1. A hydrotreatment process comprising:

a. providing in a reactor a liquid feedstock; and

b. hydrotreating the liquid feedstock in liquid phase and at a temperature selected from a range 280-380° C. in a presence of catalytic MoS₂microparticle slurry, to provide a liquid reaction product with decreased heteroatom content; wherein:

at least 90 wt % of catalytic MoS₂microparticles in the MoS₂microparticle slurry have a size below 7 μm, wherein the size of a microparticle is expressed as an average of the longest dimension and the shortest dimension of the microparticle,

at least 90 wt % of the microparticles have an aspect ratio of 0.40-1.0, and

the MoS₂microparticle slurry is used in an amount of 10 ppm-500 ppm, based on a total weight amount of a reaction mixture in the reactor.
