“…These disadvantages have spurred interests in non-noble metal catalysts such as Ni 2 P/ β, 12,13 Co−Mo/β, 14,15 Ni−W/β, 16,17 Ni−W/Hβ−Al 2 O 3 , 5,18 Ni−Mo/Hβ−HZSM-5, 4 Ni−Sn/Hβ, 19 Mo 2 C/γ-Al 2 O 3 , 10 and W/β. 20 Almost all the catalysts mentioned above have been tested using model di-and triaromatic compounds, for example, tetralin, 4 , 9 , 1 4 , 1 9 naphthalene, 9 , 1 0 , 1 2 methylnaphthalenes, 10,11,16,17,20 a mixture of phenanthrene and 1-methylnaphthalene, 13 and so forth. Nevertheless, considering the complex composition of real feedstocks and the possible effect of sulfur-and nitrogen-containing compounds on the activity and stability of catalysts, experiments with real feedstocks are indispensable.…”
