✦ Synopsis

Definite, but overall slight molecular degradation occurs when Athabasca asphaltenes react with common oxidizing agents. Application of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis to the products illustrates the overall effects of the oxidation processes on the aromatic sheets of the asphaltenes and, in conjunction with other analytical techniques, indicates plausible routes by which degradation may occur.

The interactions of Athabasca asphaltenes and heavy oil with metal chlorides are described. The asphaltenes are converted to insoluble, presumably higher molecular weight, products which contain substantial amounts of chemically bound chlorine. The heavy oils were converted partly into insoluble pro
