Return to Spanish Patent Table of Contents Hydrogen Enriched Hydrocarbons Production
Abstract Ground coal or crude petroleum (containing asphaltenes and oils with at least 80% of compounds. with boiling points above 343.3oC) can undergo hydrogenation in the presence of a finely divided metallic catalyst at 12.8 to 510oC and hydrogen at 3.450 to 68.950 kPa. The effluent gas is separated, ash is separated from at least part of the reaction zone effluent, and at least some of the liquid phase from the conversion zone is recycled.
