CONVERSION OF ASPHALTENE-CONTAINING HYDROCARBON CHARGE STOCKS

摘要

Asphaltene-containing hydrocarbonaceous charge stocks are reacted with hydrogen in contact with a catalyst comprising titanium trichloride. The slurry-type process may be effected with the titanium trichloride being composited with a refractory inorganic oxide carrier material. A preferred mode of operation involves unsupported titanium trichloride being admixed with the fresh charge stock.
