Bitumen depolymerization process using a eutectic composition of aluminum, potassium and lithium chloride.

Bitumen depolymerization process using a eutectic composition of aluminum, potassium and lithium chloride. Using the molten mixture of eutectic composition of aluminum chlorides, potassium and lithium for the partial polymerization of bituminous coals of high volatile, according to the scheme of Figure 1, with yields approximate 60%, for obtaining a bitumen of gray-green (consisting of approximately 85% soluble in pyridine) usable in carbochemistry industry as a source of valuable chemicals such as lubricants, oils, naphthas, plastics, cosmetics, paints asphalt, etc.
