Decane hydroconversion with Al–Zr, Al–Hf, Al–Ce-pillared vermiculites

A series of vermiculites pillared with mixed precursors of Al–Zr, Al–Hf and Al–Ce were obtained from natural vermiculite subjected to a process of negative charge reduction through hydrothermal treatment. The catalytic activity of the solids evaluated in the decane hydroconversion, was superior to t...
