A continuous process for solvent deasphalting asphaltene-containing hydrocarbons which comprises mixing (A) 100 parts by weight of asphaltene-containing hydrocarbons with (B) 0.005-0.5 parts by weight of an amorphous silicon dioxide and/or a silicate compound and also with (C) 5-2000 parts by weight of a solvent such as n-heptane, n-hexane, n-heptane or a mixed n-pentane.n-butanol solvent, to form a mixture which is then allowed to stand still to precipitate and separate the asphaltene therefrom thereby obtaining a deasphalted oil.
