Abstract

Various SiO2–Al2O3 supports with different Al contents were prepared using a co-precipitation method and employed with Pt catalysts in the hydrocracking of n-paraffin to middle distillate (C10–C20). The concentration of Lewis acid sites increased with the Al content of the support. The fraction of Brønsted acid sites depended on the Al content of the support and affected the conversion of n-paraffin and the yield of the middle distillate.
