In this context, this study has evaluated the effect of magnesium modified beta zeolite on n-hexane cracking, and the catalytic conversion of thiophene added as contaminant. Catalytic tests’ results, performed at low conversion at 400 ºC with a WHSV of 0.83 s<sup>-1</sup> indicate that magnesium addition increased n-hexane cracking from 37.7 to 53.6% in mols, but favored the formation of alkylated sulfur compounds over H<sub>2</sub>S production.</em>}, number={4}, journal={The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences}, author={Santos, Ronaldo Costa and Almeida, Daniel Freire and Fonseca, Fernanda Silva Costa and da Silva, Diego Santana and de Oliveira, Angelica Amaral and Pontes, Danilo de Aguiar and Pontes, Luiz Antônio Magalhães}, year={2018}, month={out.}, pages={0378–0382} }
