Analysis of reactor samples collected during thermal hydrocracking of Athabasca bitumen / K. Belinko, B.N. Nandi and J.M. Denis.: M38-13/77-51E-PDF

"Samples from five reactor levels collected during thermal hydrocracking of Athabasca bitumen were analyzed for asphaltenes, benzene-insolubles and various other components. The data indicated that a conversion of asphaltenes to benzene-insoluble organic matter was occurring during the process. An accumulation of nickel and vanadium at the bottom of the reactor during the run, did not appear to have any significant effect on product quality. Optical microscopic investigations revealed that the benzene-insoluble matter from all reactor levels consisted primarily of coke derived from the asphaltenes. There was no evidence of coke originating from the heavy aromatic oils"--Abstract, p. i.
