ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus is disclosed for converting heavy hydrocarbon feed into lighter hydrocarbon products. The heavy hydrocarbon feed is slurried with a catalyst comprising iron oxide and alumina to form a heavy hydrocarbon slurry and hydrocracked to produce lighter hydrocarbons. Performance of the iron oxide and alumina catalyst at high mean particle diameters is comparable to performance at low mean particle diameters.
