Abstract
Resins and asphaltenes can be converted to alkenes and other products in gi smondine-structured zeolites, pillared clays (PILCs) and large-pore zeotype s. Different product spectra: alkanes, alkenes, oxygenates, etc. are obtain ed with different catalysts. In particular, mesoporous zeotypes i.e. MCM(Fe )-41 containing framework iron gives a total bitumen conversion of > 15%, o pening routes to possibly useful products. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
