Process for preparing one or more hetero-atoms containing hydrocarbons by contacting one or more hydrocarbons with a plasma-generated system derived from a source containing hydrogen atoms(s) and at least one hetero-atom in which process the plasma-generated system in contacted with the hydrocarbon(s) in liquid for and/or in gaseous form under conditions which allow absorption of heat released during the process of preparing said hetero-atom(s) containing hydrocarbons.

Separation of hetero-atom(s) containing hydrocarbons

A process is disclosed for increasing the molecular weight of hydrocarbons and/or derivatives thereof by contacting them with an active hydrogen-containing system which comprises generating a hydrogen-containing plasma at a pressure of at least 5 mm and allowing contact of said hydrocarbons and/or derivatives thereof in liquid form with the plasma-generated system and recovering therefrom a product having an increased average molecular weight.
