Abstract:The response to hydrogenation and catalytic cracking of the various types of hydrocarbons present in petroleum gas oils has been investigated by mass spectrometric analytical techniques. A substantial difference was found between the ease of hydrogenation of mononuclear and dinuclear aromatic compounds. A similar difference does not appear to exist between dinuclear and polynuclear aromatic systems. Some polynuclear compounds are apparently hydrogenated completely under conditions which do not normally saturat… Show more
