Mayan and Wilmington vacuum tower bottoms were hydrotreated at various severity levels in a batch autoclave with and without catalyst. Each of the feeds and the hydrotreated products was separated into acid-base (ABN) fraction using a unique non-aqueous ion exchange technique. The feeds, hydrotreated whole products, and the ABN fractions were characterized by determining their elemental and metal content. Selected samples were analyzed by size exclusion chromatography/inductively coupled plasma technique to determine molecular size distribution of various species.
