This article provides an overview of the advances that have been marked during the last
decades in the field of hydroconversion of high n‐alkanes (C7+) with particular stress on the …

Recent research in this field has led to very interesting developments in two areas: the use
of SiC as a support material and the use of new transition metal carbides as active catalyst …

The isomerization of n-heptane in the presence of hydrogen has been carried out over a
molybdenum carbide catalyst modified by an oxygen treatment. Heptane was isomerized …

Bifunctional catalysts containing 0.1− 0.5 wt% nickel and 0.1 wt% palladium supported on
HY zeolite were prepared through incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and characterized …

Direct coal liquefaction (DCL) oil is known for the production of aromatic hydrocarbon
because of the large amount of cyclic compounds with a high aromatic content. In this work …

Catalysts having similar chemical compositions were tested for the isomerization of C7
paraffins, mainly branching of n-heptane. The principal objective was to maximize …

Hydroisomerization of several model hydrocarbons such as n-heptane, 2-methylhexane, 3-
methylhexane, 2, 3-dimethylpentane, cyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, benzene and …

Background: A new approach for the simulation of branched hydrocarbons synthesis on
platinum catalysts is provided. The kinetic and thermodynamic laws of low-temperature …

Conversion of bio-waste into high value catalytic materials is an option in the quest of
maintaining sustainable environment. Here, we report an elaborated analysis of the catalytic …

The heterogeneous hydroisomerization and hydrocracking of n-heptane was carried out
within the pores of the mesoporous SBA-15 silicas, within which was encapsulated …
