“…As metal sites, not only precious metals such as Pt [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and Pd [15], but also transition metals such as Ni [16], Ni-Mo [17], Co-Mo [18], Ni-W [19] have been reported. As solid acid catalysts, zeolite [10,12,13,16], amorphous silica-alumina [17,19], and alumina [15,18] have been investigated. Among bifunctional catalysts for hydrocracking of n-alkanes, which are main components of the FT product, Pt-loaded β-type zeolite catalysts exhibited higher product yields under mild conditions [8,10].…”
