Supported and Free-Standing Non-Noble Metal Nanoparticles and Their Catalytic Activity in Hydroconversion of Asphaltenes into Light Hydrocarbons

The hydroconversion of asphaltenes into light hydrocarbons catalyzed by supported and free-standing non-noble metal nanoparticles was studied. The activity of Ni or Co immobilized on microspherical oxide carriers and Co nanoparticles dispersed in a hydrocarbon solution of asphaltene was found to be...

description The hydroconversion of asphaltenes into light hydrocarbons catalyzed by supported and free-standing non-noble metal nanoparticles was studied. The activity of Ni or Co immobilized on microspherical oxide carriers and Co nanoparticles dispersed in a hydrocarbon solution of asphaltene was found to be higher than that of a comparative Pt-Pd/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst. The yield of light products (C<sub>5+</sub>) reached up to 91% on cobalt nanoparticles supported onto alumina microspheres.
