Composition of Pre-ozonated High-Sulfur Natural Bitumen Cracking Products

摘要

The results analysis of fractional and material composition of the cracking products of Ashalchinskoye and Karmalskoye bitumen deposits was presented in this work. The effect of bitumen ozone-oxygen mixture pretreatment followed by cracking on thermolysis processes was investigated. It was shown that molecules of resins and asphaltenes containing large amounts of aliphatic fragments in its structure readily undergo thermal decomposition to form additional distillate fractions. Low content of aliphatic fragments leads to aromatization of the naphthenic cycles in the molecule of resins and asphaltenes, the thermal degradation reactions proceed in high yields of gas and coke.
