Abstract:
Methods are provided for enhancing oxidative molecular weight reduction in a hydrocarbon-containing material. For example, some methods include (a) providing a first hydrocarbon-containing material comprising a first hydrocarbon, said first hydrocarbon-containing material having been exposed to irradiation from a beam of particles, the beam of particles imparting one or more functional groups to said first hydrocarbon containing material; and (b) oxidizing the first hydrocarbon-containing material with one or more oxidants in the presence of one or more compounds comprising one or more naturally-occurring, non-radioactive group 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 or 11 elements, the one or more elements participating in a Fenton-type reaction while oxidizing, to produce a second hydrocarbon-containing material comprising a second hydrocarbon, the second hydrocarbon having a molecular weight lower than that of the first hydrocarbon, the functional groups enhancing the effectiveness of the oxidizing reaction.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cracking reaction takes place at least in part in a solution or slurry provided by: (a) adding the one or more compounds to the solution or slurry, and then dispersing the first hydrocarbon-containing material; or (b) dispersing the first hydrocarbon-containing material in the solution or slurry, and then adding the one or more compounds; or (c) adding the one or more compounds to the first hydrocarbon-containing material, and then dispersing in the solution or slurry.
