CATALYST FOR DECOMPOSITION OF HYDROCARBON OIL AND METHOD FOR DECOMPOSING HYDROCARBON OIL

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a catalyst for decomposition of a hydrocarbon oil capable of efficiently lightening a hydrocarbon oil at low cost and a method for decomposing a hydrocarbon oil. The catalyst for decomposition of a hydrocarbon oil of the present invention is used in decomposition of the hydrocarbon oil in the presence of water, and characterized by including an oxide with a perovskite structure or an oxide with a pseudobrookite structure, or a mixture thereof. The method for decomposing a hydrocarbon oil of the present invention is characterized by contacting a hydrocarbon oil with the catalyst for decomposition of a hydrocarbon oil in the presence of water to decompose the hydrocarbon oil.
