Hydrocracking of Wandoan Coal Liquids (I)

Fractionation of skin tumor-initiating activity in coal liquids.

Narrow temperature range distillates from biologically active solvent refined coal-I and -II heavy-end coal liquids were fractionated according to chemical class and assayed for initiation of skin carcinogenesis in CD-1 mice. In addition, instrumental chemical analyses were performed on the distillates and their chemical fractions. Results showed that initiation activity in these complex fuel m...

Development of Heavy Oil Hydrocracking Catalysts

This paper present some results obtained from the research program being pursued at the Research Institute of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals aimed at the development of suitable catalysts for hydrocracking of the vacuum gas oils from Arabian Light crude to obtain higher quality distillate products. The newly developed high-performance hydroprocessing catalysts are based on synth...

Hydrocracking of the oils of Botryococcus braunii to transport fuels.

Hydrocarbon oils of the alga Botryococcus braunii, extracted from a natural "bloom" of the plant, have been hydrocracked to produce a distillate comprising 67% gasoline fraction, 15% aviation turbine fuel fraction, 15% diesel fuel fraction, and 3% residual oil. The distillate was examined by a number of standard petroleum industry test methods. This preliminary investigation indicates that the ...
