Hydroprocessing of sunflower oil-gas oil blends over sulfided Ni-Mo-Al-zeolite beta composites

► BEA addition to 3%NiO-12%MoO3-Al2O3 increases activity for vegetable oil conversion. ► BEA containing Ni-Mo-Al2O3 is suited for conversion of non-edible oils. ► Ni-Mo-Al2O3-15%BEA is ideal for maximizing n-C18 by HDO. ► BEA addition increases HDS activity of Ni-Mo-Al2O3 in oil-diesel blends.
