HYDROCONVERSION OF OILSANDS BITUMEN OVER THE SUPPORTED AND THE DISPERSED CATALYSTS
IntroductionContinuous oil supply has become an important issue because of the difficulty to discover new huge conventional oil fields and increasing demand for petroleum in developing countries such as China and India. In this situation, the development of unconventional oil such as oilsands is receiving more and more interest and the development of upgrading technology to produce high-quality synthetic oil is also strongly required. In this study, we carried out hydroconversion of oilsands bitumen for the two purposes. One is to improve the reaction performance of the conventional γ-Al2O3 supported catalyst, and the other is to find the possible way of the dispersed catalyst application to the hydroconversion of oilsands bitumen. Reaction experiments were carried out using stirred reactor for oilsands bitumen under operating conditions similar to those of industrial process. The reaction performances of the catalysts have been evaluated at the various reaction aspects such as sulfur conversion, asphaltene conversion as well as the conversion of heavy oil fractions to light.
