Abstract
Hydrorefining catalyst contains 0.1 to 25 wt % in total of at least one hydrogenation active metal element selected from elements of Group 6, Group 8, Group 9, and Group 10 of the Periodic Table, and 0.1 to 3 wt % potassium on a carrier formed of porous inorganic oxide. The concentration distribution of the hydrogenation active metal element is higher in the central part than in the peripheral part of the catalyst, and the concentration distribution of potassium is higher in the peripheral part than in the central part of the catalyst. The pores on the outside surface of the catalyst are not plugged by the metal content of hetero compounds and hetero compounds can be efficiently diffused to inside the catalyst. As a result, long-term retention of a state of high activity is possible.
