A hydroconversion process is described in which a feed slurry comprising a heavy hydrocarbon oil and an iron compound additive is contacted with a hydrogen-containing gas in a hydroconversion zone at hydroconversion conditions to convert at least a portion of said oil to lower boiling products. The process is characterized by the use of an iron compound having particle sizes of less than 45 .mu.m, preferably with at least 50 wt % of particles of less than 5 .mu.m.

Hydrocracking of heavy oil in presence of ultrafine iron sulphate

A process for the conversion of a heavy hydrocarbon oil in the presence of hydrogen and iron-coal catalyst is described in which the iron-coal catalyst is prepared by grinding coal particles and particles of an iron compound in oil to form an additive slurry or paste and mixing the coal-iron oil slurry or paste with the heavy hydrocarbon oil to form a feedstock to a hydroconverter.
