When using an unsulfided Co/MoO3/Silica-Alumina catalyst for the purposes of hydrocracking n-alkanes to a jet fuel fraction, the chemical pathway is found to depend on feed characteristics.  When using a light alkane, n-hexadecane, exclusively hydrogenolysis is observed.  When feeding heavier alkanes, a blend of n-C26/n-C28, bifunctional hydrocracking is observed.
