1. A catalyst comprising
at least one Group VIB metal component,
at least one Group VIII metal component comprising nickel and/or cobalt,
a phosphorus component, and
a boron-containing carrier component,
wherein the amount of the phosphorus component is at least about 1 wt %, expressed as an oxide (P2O5) and based on the total weight of the catalyst, and the boron content is in the range of about 1 to about 13 wt %, expressed as an oxide (B2O3) and based on the total weight of the catalyst; and wherein the formation of the catalyst involves at least co-extruding a boron compound with a carrier to form a boron-containing carrier extrudate, drying and calcining the extrudate, and impregnating the calcined extrudate with a solution comprised of a phosphorus source, at least one Group VIB metal source and/or at least one Group VIII metal source.
