Hydrocracking of heavy oils using iron coal catalyst

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6844655
; ;
A process for hydrocracking a heavy hydrocarbon oil, a substantial proportion of which boils above 524/sup 0/C which comprises: (A) passing a slurry of said heavy hydrocarbon oil and an iron-coal catalyst in the presence of 500 to 50,000 s.c.f. of hydrogen per barrel of said hydrocarbon oil through a confined hydrocracking zone, said hydrocracking zone being maintained at a temperature between about 400/sup 0/ and 490/sup 0/C, a pressure above 500 psig and a space velocity between about 0.5 and 4.0 volumes of heavy hydrocarbon oil per hour per volume of hydrocracking zone capacity, (B) removing from said hydrocracking zone a mixed effluent containing a gaseous phase comprising hydrogen and vaporous hydrocarbons and a liquid phase comprising heavy hydrocarbons, and (C) separating said effluent into a gaseous stream containing hydrogen and vaporous hydrocarbons and a liquid stream containing heavy hydrocarbons.
