Effect of acidity and metal content on the activity and product selectivity for n-decane hydroisomerization and hydrocracking over nickel-tungsten supported on silica-alumina catalysts

After running on stream for 100 min, the catalysts with 15% of nickel and 10% of tungsten (WT(15,10) catalyst) showed the best results (42.3% of conversion and 55% selectivity) at 250 °C.
