Title: Chemistry of asphaltenes. Selective oxidation and aromatic chemistry. Government role in fuels research and development. Symposium overview

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5539035

The fall meeting of the Division of Petroleum Chemistry, Inc. of the American Chemical Society was held in Washington, DC, September 9-14, 1979. Two symposia were Chemistry of Asphaltenes and Selective Oxidation and Aromatic Chemistry; only 15 individual papers of the former were entered individually into EDB and ERA. The papers discuss isolation of the asphaltenes, their molecular weight, their viscosity and their chemical nature (condensed aromatics). Asphaltenes separated from coal liquids have markedly lower molecular weight than those separated from petroleums. (LTN)
