Hydrocracking experiments made in a 300 cc stirred tank reactor with pure hydrocarbons and catalyst materials yielded information on the kinetics and mechanisms of hydrocracking (hydrogenation, isomerization, and cracking) of naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene and the activities and selectivities of oxides and sulfides of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, and tungsten and of different silica-alumina cracking catalysts. The experiments were performed at the University of Utah under partial sponsorship by the U.S. Office of Coal Research.
