This work aims at bridging the knowledge gap between the well-studied Pt/zeolite catalysts and the industrially-employed NiMoS/(Al 2 O 3 + zeolite) ones. To do so, catalyst series based on HUSY zeolite were evaluated in the hydroconversion of n -hexadecane under similar operating conditions, but the...
