Abstract

A process for the preparation of a dispersed Group VIB metal sulfide catalyst which is promoted with a Group VIII metal for use in hydrocarbon oil hydroprocessing comprising dissolving a Group VIB metal compound, such as molybdenum oxide or tungsten oxide, with ammonia to form a water soluble compound such as aqueous ammonium molybdate or ammonium tungstate. The aqueous ammonium molybdate or ammonium tungstate is sulfided in a plurality of sulfiding steps at increasing temperatures. A compound containing a Group VIII metal is added to any sulfiding step in preference to the Group VIB metal dissolving step. The catalyst slurry and feed oil can then be passed to a hydroprocessing reactor.
