This study is aimed at investigating the interactive effects of reaction parameters such as temperature (330–370 °C), total pressure (30–50 bar) and liquid hourly space velocity LHSV (1–3 h−1) on the performance of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity. Experiments were performed based on the central...
