“…Catalytic activity tests were performed in a tubular flow fixed-bed microreactor operated in a continuous mode, whose size and catalyst packing were reported previously. 25 1 wt % DBT (98%, J&K, China)/cyclohexane (AR, Kelong, China) and 5 wt % THN (99%, J&K, China)/heptane (AR, Kelong, China) were used as HDS and HDA feeds, respectively. For the presulfurized catalysts, the reaction was carried out at 300 °C, 4 MPa H 2 pressure, a liquid hourly space velocity of 16.5 h –1 , and a hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio 400.…”
