SEARCH Articles Figures Tables VIII shows the method used to calculate the diaromatics factor. The data for these calculations are derived from Table II, which shows that the diaromatic fractions from the three slurry oils have an aromaticity of approximately 0.8. The calculation shows that approximately 50.2 of the diaromatic molecules remain in the slurry oil. Similar calculations with a number of reduced crudes and slurry oils derived from those reduced crudes has indicated that approximately 51.5 of the diaromatic molecules remain in the slurry oil.
