ABSTRACT:
Spent catalysts removed from a catalytic hydrogenation process for hydrocarbon feedstocks, and containing carbon undesired metals contaminants deposits, are rejuvenated for reuse. Following solvent washing to remove process oils, the catalyst is treated either with chemicals which form sulfate or oxysulfate compounds with the metals contaminants, or with acids which remove the metal contaminants, such as 5-50 W % sulfuric acid in aqueous solution and 0-10 W % ammonium ion solutions to substantially remove the metals deposits. The acid treating occurs within the temperature range of 60.degree.-250.degree. F. for 5-120 minutes at substantially atmospheric pressure, after which the rejuvenated catalyst containing carbon deposits can be effectively reused in the catalytic hydrogenation process.
