The molecular characterization of the thermal, steam and steam catalytic cracking products from Arabian Light vacuum residue is presented. It was found that higher conversion level could be achieved with the incorporation of steam and ultradispersed (UD) catalyst without severely impacting the product quality. The interaction of such products with designed solid surfaces such as Ca-kaolin and Ca-Ba-kaolin, indicated that adsorption uptakes depends on the molecular properties of the products as well as on the properties of the solid
