Structure and Activity of Ni<sub>2</sub>P/Desilicated Zeolite β Catalysts for Hydrocracking of Pyrolysis Fuel Oil into Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene

The effects of desilication (DS) of the zeolite &#946; on the hydrocracking of polycyclic aromatics were investigated using the Ni<sub>2</sub>P/&#946; catalysts. The Ni<sub>2</sub>P/&#946; catalysts were obtained by the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) metho...
