Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed for producing a lubricating oil having good UV stability from a hydrocarbon feedstock boiling in the range 700* to 1,200*F., which comprises: A. catalytically hydrocracking in a hydrocracking zone said feedstock at a per pass conversion of at least 20 volume percent to materials boiling below the initial boiling point of said feedstock; B. catalytically hydrogenating in a hydrogenating zone at least a substantial portion of the effluent from said hydrocracking zone boiling in the range 550*-1,200*F. at hydrogenation conditions, in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst comprising 1. A REFRACTORY OXIDE, AND 2. A HYDROGENATING COMPONENT COMPRISING A NOBLE METAL; AND C. recovering as a product of the hydrogenating step a lubricating oil having good UV stability.
