A hydrocracking process using a palladium-zeolite-amorphous inorganic oxide catalyst containing 1 to 40 weight percent zeolite and wherein the catalyst is prepared by impregnating palladium into the zeolite, combining the impregnated zeolite with the amorphous inorganic oxide, and impregnating at least the amorphous inorganic oxide with palladium. Preferably the catalyst is calcined at 1,000* to 1,800* F. The catalyst is found to be especially effective in hydrocracking high end point feeds with surprisingly low buildup of heavy ends in the recycle stream. |
