The invention relates to a grading composition of a hydrogenation catalyst. From top to bottom, a reactor is filled with hydrodemetallization and a
hydrodesulfurization catalyst; raw materials flow from top to bottom, and along with the flowing direction of raw materials, the activity of the catalyst gradually increases, the pore size gradually decreases, the grain size gradually decreases and the
porosity gradually decreases; the hydrodemetallization catalyst and the
hydrodesulfurization catalyst are both formed by one or more demetallization catalysts; concentrations of active
metal components and acid auxiliary agents are in nonuniform distribution, and from the surface to the center of catalyst grains, the concentrations of the active
metal components and acid auxiliary agents of the hydrodemetallization catalyst are of
gradient increase, and the concentrations of the active
metal components and acid auxiliary agents of the
hydrodesulfurization catalyst are of gradient decrease; and based on weight content, the demetallization catalyst accounts for 15 to 80 percent, and the desulfurization catalyst accounts for 20 to 85 percent. The grading composition of the invention is applied to
hydrogenation catalysis of oil and
residual oil of heavy ends and has the advantages of possessing better activity and stability of demetallization,
residual carbon removal and desulfurization, controlling temperature rise of a catalyst
bed and
degreasing the deactivation speed of the catalyst.
