Abstract

The hydroconversion of asphaltenes into light hydrocarbons catalyzed by supported and free-standing non-noble metal nanoparticles was studied. The activity of Ni or Co immobilized on microspherical oxide carriers and Co nanoparticles dispersed in a hydrocarbon solution of asphaltene was found to be higher than that of a comparative Pt-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. The yield of light products (C5+) reached up to 91% on cobalt nanoparticles supported onto alumina microspheres.
