Production of Light Oil by Oxidative Cracking of Oil Sand Bitumen Using Iron Oxide Catalysts in a Steam Atmosphere

Catalytic cracking of Canadian oil sand bitumen was performed using zirconia−alumina−iron oxide catalysts at 450−500 °C in a steam atmosphere. The heavy-oil fraction of bitumen was oxidatively cracked to produce light oil, corresponding to gasoline, kerosene, and gas oil, with a boiling point of...
