Improved performance in co-processing through fundamental and mechanistic studies in hydrogen transfer and catalysis. Quarterly report, June 27-September 26, 1989.

摘要

To gain a fundamental understanding of the role and importance of hydrogen transfer reactions in thermal and catalytic coprocessing by examining possible hydrogen donation from cycloalkane/aromatic systems and by understanding the chemistry and enhanced reactivity of hydrotreated residuum, as well as by enriching petroleum solvent with potent new donors, nonaromatic hydroaromatics, thereby promoting hydrogen transfer reactions in coprocessing. Progress and a literature review are presented in this report. 8 refs., 3 tabs.
