The invention relates to a catalyst
usable in hydrotreatment processes, which comprises an
alumina-based amorphous support,
phosphorus, a C1-C4 dialkyl succinate,
acetic acid and a hydro-dehydrogenizing function comprising at least one group VIII element and at least one group VIB element, preferably made up of
cobalt and
molybdenum, a catalyst whose Raman spectrum comprises the most intense bands characteristic of the Keggin heteropolyanions (974 and / or 990 cm−1), C1-C4 dialkyl succinate and
acetic acid (896 cm−1). Preferably, the dialkyl succinate concerned is
dimethyl succinate and its main band is at 853 cm−1.The invention also relates to the method of preparing said catalyst, wherein a catalytic precursor comprising the group VIB and group VIII elements, in particular the
molybdenum-
cobalt pair, and
phosphorus, introduced by impregnation, then dried at a temperature below 180° C., is impregnated by the C1-C4 dialkyl succinate, the
acetic acid and the
phosphorus compound, if the latter has not been entirely introduced beforehand, then, after maturation, dried at a temperature below 180° C. prior to being optionally sulfurized.The invention also relates to the use of this catalyst in any hydrotreatment process.
