Abstract:
1. A process for cracking a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock, comprising: mixing, at a temperature selected from about 375° C. to about 500° C. and a total pressure selected from about 6.9 MPa to about 27.5 MPa: a) a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock containing at least 20 wt. % hydrocarbons having a boiling point of greater than 538° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM Method D5307; b) hydrogen; and c) a catalyst comprising a material comprised of a first metal and a second metal where the first metal is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Fe, Ni, Co, Bi, Ag, Mn, Zn, Sn, Ru, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Eu, Yb, Lu, Dy, Pb, and Sb, where the second metal is selected from the group consisting of Mo, W, V, Sn, and Sb, where the second metal is different from the first metal, and wherein the material is comprised of at least three linked chain elements, the chain elements comprising a first chain element including the first metal and having a structure according to formula (I) and a second chain element including the second metal and having a structure according to formula (II) where M while mixing the mixture at the selected temperature and selected total pressure, separating a vapor comprising a hydrocarbon-containing product from the mixture, where the hydrocarbon-containing product is comprised of one or more hydrocarbon compounds that are liquid at STP.
