This article reports on a study of the principal conversions of hydrocarbons in hydrotreating a raffinate from phenol treating, obtained from a mixture of Volga-Ural and West Siberian crudes. It examines naphthenic hydrocarbons, alkylbenzenes, naphthalene hydrocarbons, and phenanthrenes. The degree of conversion of all groups of the aromatic hydrocarbons is considerably greater than the degree of conversion of the naphthenes. The greater the conversion of aromatics, the more significant are the changes in their physicochemical properties. Substantial decreases in the viscosity, density, and refractive index, and increases in the viscosity index are observed.
