In recent years, there has been a trend in the global oil industry to improve the proportion of heavy high-sulfur crude oils in the total volume of extracted and processed resources, reserves of which are estimated at over 800 billion metric tons. Therefore, the main line of oil refining is processing of heavy crudes and residua to allow maximum use of the hydrocarbon potential and yield of high-margin products. Hydrogenation processes of heavy raw materials are most attractive in terms of product quality. This article analyzes tar hydrocracking processes that are either in operation or at the stage of full-scale testing. These include Veba Combi-Cracker (VCC), Uniflex, suspended-bed catalyst hydrocracking (ENI), and vacuum residue hydroconversion (TIPS RAS). These technologies use heterogeneous catalysts and are designed to obtain the largest possible amount of liquid products. This article discusses the features of each technology, highlights their advantages and disadvantages, shows the main approaches to process management, and speculates about the development of these technologies. Tar refining is a major process in heavy oil upgrading, and the development of efficient tar-processing methods will influence refinery configurations and management.

(PPh3)Mo(CO)5 and (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 were synthesized by the reaction of molybdenum hexacar-bonyl with triphenylphosphine and applied as precursors to hydrocracking of vacuum residue under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 could also be synthesized by the reaction of (PPh3)Mo(CO)5 with triphenyl phosphine. A commercial precursor (Mo-octoate) for hydrocracking of vacuum residue was used for comparison. The thermal decomposition behavior of (PPh3)Mo(CO)5, (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4, and Mo-octoate was also examined by the thermogravimetric analysis. The TGA curve of (PPh3)Mo(CO)5 and (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 showed a similar weight-loss pattern. (PPh3)Mo(CO)5 and (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 were decomposed into Mo metal and ligands rapidly in the range of 140 °C~270 °C. There were no ligands bound to a metal center of (PPh3)Mo(CO)5 and (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 at the reaction temperature (430 °C) of hydrocracking. The amount of coke formed after hydrocracking over (PPh3)Mo(CO)5 and (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 was 2.3% and 0.5%, respectively. Upgrading the qualities of heavy oils is an important issue in the energy industry. It is not easy to achieve the complete conversion of vacuum residue due to coke forming during hydrocracking of vacuum residue. This study showed that (PPh3)2Mo(CO)4 was considerably effective in reducing coke formation.
