1. A supported catalyst comprising at least one metal from Group 6, alternatively referred to as Group VIB, of the Periodic Table of the Elements, at least one metal from Groups 8, 9 or 10, alternatively referred to as Group VIIIB, of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and optionally comprising phosphorous;
wherein the Group 6 metal comprises about 30 to about 45 wt. % and the total of Group 6 and Group 8, 9 or 10 or mixtures thereof metal components comprise about 35 to about 55 wt. %, calculated as oxides and based on the total weight of the catalyst composition;
wherein the metals, and phosphorous when present, are carried on and/or within a porous inorganic oxide carrier or support, the support prior to incorporation of the metals and phosphorus when present, having a total pore volume (TPV) of about 0.8 cc/g to about 1.5 cc/g and comprising:
(a) equal to or greater than about 25% to about 45% of TPV in pores having a diameter of 100 Angstroms (Å) (10 nm) to 200 Å (20 nm);
(b) greater than about 15% to less than about 30% of TPV in pores having a diameter of 200 Å (20 nm) to less than 1000 Å (100 nm);
(c) equal to or greater than 10% to less than 30% of TPV in pores having a diameter of 1000 Å (100 nm) to 30,000 Å (3,000 nm); and
wherein the supported catalyst comprises:
(d) equal to or greater than about 35% to about 60% of TPV in pores having a diameter of 100 Å (10 nm) to 200 Å (20 nm);
(e) greater than about 15% to less than about 30% of TPV in pores having a diameter of 200 Å (20 nm) to less than 1000 Å (100 nm);
(f) equal to or greater than 10% to less than 30% of TPV in pores having a diameter of 1000 Å (100 nm) to 30,000 Å (3,000 nm); and
wherein pore properties and contents are measured using mercury porosimetry.
