摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for producing naphtha boiling range fractions having a reduced or minimized amount of sulfur and an increased and/or desirable octane rating and suitable for incorporation into a naphtha fuel product. A naphtha boiling range feed can be separated to form a lower boiling portion and a higher boiling portion. The lower boiling portion, containing a substantial amount of olefins, can be exposed to an acidic catalyst without the need for providing added hydrogen in the reaction environment. Additionally, during the exposure of the lower boiling portion to the acidic catalyst, a stream of light olefins (such as C2-C4 olefins) can be introduced into the reaction environment. Adding such light olefins can enhance the C5+ yield and/or improve the removal of sulfur from thiophene and methyl-thiophene compounds in the naphtha feed.

Method of removing metals from hydrocarbon feedstock using esters of carboxylic acids, and additives for the same, are provided, wherein hydrocarbon stream including crude oil containing metals and salts thereof, wherein metal is calcium and its salt is calcium naphthenate, is mixed with an effective metal-removing-amount of an aqueous extraction-solution of non-precipitating and non-fouling additive comprising a chemical compound selected from a group consisting of methyl or ethyl or propyl or isopropyl mono- and/or di-esters of any one of the carboxylic acids selected from the groups consisting of maleic acid, maleic anhydride, and fumaric acid, or an appropriate combination of said esters, or an appropriate combination of any of said esters with any of said carboxylic acids to form a hydrocarbonous phase and an aqueous phase containing the metal ions; and separating aqueous phase.
摘要:
A process for producing olefins from a feedstock comprising a petroleum and non-petroleum fraction has been developed. The process comprises first pretreating the feedstock to remove contaminants such as alkali metals and then cracking the purified feedstock in a fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) zone operated at conditions to provide C2-C5 olefins. Alternatively, the non-petroleum fraction can first be treated and then mixed with petroleum fraction to provide the feedstock which is then catalytically cracked.
摘要:
A method for degumming and/or refining crude oil containing impurities involving mixing the crude oil with degumming agents, i.e., water or acid, and subjecting the mixture to flow-through, hydrodynamic cavitation processing. The cavitational processing transfers impurities in the crude oil to a water phase for easier separation. The water phase may be separated from the oil phase by commonly available separation methods.

摘要:
A process for purifying a liquid hydrocarbon feedstock containing organo-sulfur compounds wherein an aqueous sulfuric acid solution containing ions of a transition metal, such as vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, cerium or mixtures thereof, is subject to electrolysis to oxidize the metal ions to a higher oxidation state, the electrolyzed solution is emulsified with the feedstock to achieve oxidation of the organo-sulfur compounds to form water soluble sulfur compounds, gaseous products, resinous products; the spent aqueous acidic solution and the purified hydrocarbon product are separated and the spent aqueous solution is recycled via electrolysis.

A ternary alloy consisting of sodium, copper and lead, especially in the form of a slurry in oil, is useful for decontaminating halogenated hydrocarbons by reacting with the halogen therein.
摘要:
A process for removing metal from a metal-containing hydrocarbon oil such as a heavy crude is disclosed which comprises:(a) contacting a hydrocarbon oil phase containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of vanadium and nickel with an aqueous phase of dissolved phosphorous compound capable of forming a compound or a complex with said metal, said aqueous phase containing a substantial quantity of water relative to the amount of liquid hydrocarbon contacted therewith, said contacting resulting in the removal of a substantial quantity of the metal from the hydrocarbon oil phase to the aqueous phase; and,(b) separating the metal-containing aqueous phase from the demetalated hydrocarbon oil phase prior to subjecting the latter to downstream catalytic processing.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process for management of hazardous materials and namely chlorinated hydrocarbons including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as found in fuels, textile dyes, printing inks, paints, carbonless copy paper, fireproofing agents, electrical capacitors, electrical insulation, transformer fluids, hydraulic systems, heat exchangers, hazardous wastes and the like. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for assuring protection against and specifically elimination of the potential health effects of the chlorinated hydrocarbons including polychlorinated biphenyls in the wide range of materials noted above, but particularly in so-called toxic wastes or hazardous waste materials and even more particularly in the hazardous wastes used as fuels or the fuels per se.
摘要:
Whole crude shale oil is contacted with a suitable catalyst, e.g., cobalt molybdate on alumina, and hydrogen within a temperature range of about 600.degree. F.-850.degree. F. and a pressure range of about 200 psig-5000 psig until a substantial amount of nitrogen compounds contained in the oil are converted to at least basic nitrogen compounds. Hydrogen consumption is high, about 700-3000 SCF/Bbl of fresh oil charged. The contacted oil, containing basic nitrogen compounds in the oil, formed by the hydrogen contacting, is reacted with dry HCl and resulting reaction product is removed from the oil. The reaction product can be converted into hydrogen and HCl for use in the process. As a result of the severe hydrogen contacting and the HCl treatment, a major amount of the whole crude shale oil can be converted to jet fuel.
