Abstract
A series of 34 nitrogen-containing compounds with a wide range of basicities was examined under differential nonaqueous potentiometric conditions in acetophenone and nitrobenzene. These compounds could be resolved into five classes based on pKaand half-neutralization-potential (HNP) values. Asphaltenes isolated from the vacuum still overhead (VSO) and vacuum still bottoms (VSB) fractions of the H-coal process were titrated under similar conditions. The titration results of both asphaltenes indicated the presence of two classes of nitrogen-containing compounds, a titratable class of the pyridine-ring or aniline type and a nontitratable class.
