Asphalt and Vacuum Residues

Asphalt
A very complex combination of high molecular weight organic compounds containing a relatively high proportion of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C25 with high carbon-to-hydrogen ratios. It also contains small amounts of various metals such as nickel, iron, or vanadium. It is obtained as the non-volatile residue from distillation of crude oil or by separation as the raffinate from a residual oil in a deasphalting or decarbonization process.

Residues (petroleum), vacuum
A complex residuum from the vacuum distillation of the residuum from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C34 and boiling above approximately 495°C (923°F).

Residues (petroleum), hydrodesulfurized vacuum
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treating a vacuum residuum with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst under conditions primarily to remove organic sulfur compounds. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C34 and boiling approximately above 495°C (923°F).

Asphalt, oxidized
A complex black solid obtained by blowing air through a heated residuum, or raffinate from a deasphalting process with or without a catalyst. The process is principally one of oxidative condensation which increases the molecular weight.

Asphaltenes (petroleum)
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a complex solid black product by the separation of petroleum residues by means of a special treatment of a light hydrocarbon cut. The carbon/hydrogen ratio is especially high. This product contains a low quantity of vanadium and nickel.

Residues (petroleum), thermal cracked vacuum
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from the vacuum distillation of the products from a thermal cracking process. It consists predominantly of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C34 and boiling above approximately 495°C (923°F).

Residues (petroleum), dewaxed heavy parafinnic, vacuum
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as the residue from the molecular distillation of a dewaxed heavy paraffinic distillate. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C80 and boiling above approximately 450°C (842°F).

Residues (petroleum), distn. residue hydragenation
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a residue from the distillation of crude oil under vacuum. It consists predominantly of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range above C50 and boiling in the range above approximately 360°C (680°F).

Residues (petroleum), vacuum distn. residue hydrogenation
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as a residue from the distillation of crude oil under vacuum. It consists predominantly of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range above C5o and boiling in the range above approximately 500°C (932°F).
