摘要:
A process is described for reducing the total acid number of a refinery feedstock. In one embodiment, refinery feedstock containing naphthenic acids is contacted with an effective amount of solid catalyst in the presence of an aqueous caustic base, wherein the caustic base is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, for a period of time sufficient to neutralize at least a portion of the naphthenic acids in the feedstock. Thereafter, the aqueous phase is separated from the neutralized refinery feedstock. In another embodiment catalyst is pretreated with a caustic base solution and contacted with refinery feedstock to reducing the total acid number.

A crude oil feedstream is treated to remove or reduce the content of known undesired heteroatomic and polynuclear aromatic compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur by contacting the feedstream with one or more solid adsorbent materials selected from attapulgus clay, alumina, silica gel and activated carbon in a mixing vessel for a time that is sufficient to optimize the adsorption of the undesired compounds from the crude oil, subjecting the mixture to atmospheric flash distillation and then to vacuum flash distillation to recover presorbed boiling ranges of products having a lowered content of the undesired compounds, and preferably regenerating at least a portion of the solid adsorbent material for reuse in the process.

摘要:
A hydrocarbon feedstock is hydrocracked in a hydrocracking zone and the effluent is fractioned to recover a light fraction, a middle fraction containing aromatic compounds and a heavy fraction. The heavy fraction is recycled to the hydrocracking zone for further hydrocracking. The middle fraction is introduced to an aromatic separation zone. A product stream is recovered from the aromatic separation zone comprising a middle fraction having a reduced content of aromatic compounds as compared to the middle fraction recovered from the fractionator. Aromatics from the aromatic separation zone are recycled to the hydrocracking zone for further hydrogenation and cracking.
