Résumé du colloque

The CANMET process for the upgrading of heavy oil and coal produces a residue containing hydrocarbons, ash, and spent catalyst. The disposal of this material represents a major challenge since it contains both inorganic and organic hazardous materials. This work examines the treatment of the residue in hydrogen-argon plasmas to produce light hydrocarbons. Both batch and continuous treatments were carried out in an induction plasma microreactor. Acetylene was the major reaction product. Much of the sulphur in the original residue was fixed in the ash. Considerable quantities of carbon black were produced as a byproduct. No liquid hydrocarbons were isolated.
