Abstract
he oil refining industry has a difficult challenge to meet the increasingly stringent regula tions on environmental issues. Contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, fused ring aromatic
compounds or metals are the principal to remove to achieve "green" fuels. The hydrotreating
(HDT) is one of the processes most used in the refinery to remove these contaminants. To
optimize the gas oil hydrotreater, it is crucial to understand the aromatic hydrogenation reac tion chemistry occurring in the gas oil hydrotreater. To find alternative processes, it is neces sary to develop new and more active catalysts to replace the current ones. Bimetallic Pt–Pd
catalysts have received considerable attention, because they show high actvity in a variety of
catalytic applications [1,2]. From a fundamental point of view, exploring bimetallic catalysts
also allows better understanding of mechanisms and variables involved in the catalytic reac tions. The features of the catalysts here studied are going to be correlated with their catalytic
performance in the hydrogenation of tetralin. The final goal is to find the optimal proportion
of each metal in order to be more active and the best reaction conditions. The statistical expe riments design is the process of planning an experiment to obtain appropriate data that can be
analyzed by statistical methods, to produce concrete and valid conclusions [3]. One of the
main advantages in the response curve is to visualize the response for all levels of the experi mental factors Experiment design response surface methodology (RSM) is used in this work
to model and to optimize the process.
