Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a method for the conversion of heavy fossil hydrocarbons (HFH) to a variety of value-added chemicals and/or fuels using microwave (MW) and/or radio-frequency (RF) energy comprising: flowing a continuous feed comprising HFH and a process gas through a reaction zone having a pressure greater than 0.9 atm; contacting the HFH and a HFH-to-liquids catalyst in at least the reaction zone; concentrating MW or RF energy in the reaction zone using a microwave or RF energy source; and generating dielectric discharges within the reaction zone; wherein the HFH and the catalyst have a residence time in the reaction zone of less than 30 seconds.
