BACKGROUND
[0002] As is well known in the industry, crude oil contains heteroatom contaminants including, but not limited to, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, nickel, vanadium, and iron and acidic oxygenates in quantities that negatively impact the refinery processing of the crude oil fractions.
Light crude oils or condensates contain heteroatoms in concentrations as low as 0.001 wt %. In contrast, heavy crude oils contain heteroatoms as high as 5-7 wt %. The heteroatom content of crude oil increases with increasing boiling point and the heteroatom content increases with decreasing API gravity. These contaminants must be removed during refining operations to meet the environmental regulations for the final product specifications (e.g., gasoline, diesel, fuel oil) or to prevent the contaminants from decreasing catalyst activity, selectivity, and lifetime in downstream refining operations. Contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, nickel, vanadium, iron, and total acid number (TAN) in the crude oil fractions negatively impact these downstream processes, and others, including hydrotreating, hydrocracking and FCC to name just a few. These contaminants are present in the crude oil fractions in various organic hydrocarbon molecules and in various concentrations.

BACKGROUND
[0002] As is well known in the industry, crude oil contains heteroatom contaminants including, but not limited to, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, nickel, vanadium, and iron and acidic oxygenates in quantities that negatively impact the refinery processing of the crude oil fractions.
Light crude oils or condensates contain heteroatoms in concentrations as low as 0.001 wt %. In contrast, heavy crude oils contain heteroatoms as high as 5-7 wt %. The heteroatom content of crude oil increases with increasing boiling point and the heteroatom content increases with decreasing API gravity. These contaminants must be removed during refining operations to meet the environmental regulations for the final product specifications (e.g., gasoline, diesel, fuel oil) or to prevent the contaminants from decreasing catalyst activity, selectivity, and lifetime in downstream refining operations. Contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, nickel, vanadium, iron, and total acid number (TAN) in the crude oil fractions negatively impact these downstream processes, and others, including hydrotreating, hydrocracking and FCC to name just a few. These contaminants are present in the crude oil fractions in various organic hydrocarbon molecules and in various concentrations.
[0003] Many heteroatom contaminants appear in hydrocarbon streams in both oxidized and unoxidized form. For example, sulfur can appear in oxidized form as, for example, a sulfoxide, sulfone, or sulfonate, or in unoxidized form as, for example, a thiophene. Naturally occurring hydrocarbon streams include both oxidized and unoxidized heteroatoms, including both oxidized and unoxidized forms of sulfur. The oxidized heteroatom content of a hydrocarbon stream may also be increased through artificial processes. Figure 1 describes a table of available oxidation states for organic heteroatom compounds.
[0004] Sulfur is widely recognized as the most egregious heteroatom contaminant as a result of the environmental hazard caused by its release into the environment after combustion.
It is believed, sulfur oxides from combustion (known collectively as SO, emissions) contribute to the formation of acid rain and also to the reduction of the efficiency of catalytic converters in automobiles. Furthermore, sulfur compounds are thought to ultimately increase the particulate content of combustion products. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and other heteroatom contaminants present similar environmental risks.

Furthermore, sulfur compounds are thought to ultimately increase the particulate content of combustion products. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and other heteroatom contaminants present similar environmental risks.
[0005] A variety of methods have been implemented for removing sulfur compounds either from fuels before combustion or from emission gases afterward. Most refineries employ hydrodesulfurization (HDS) as the predominant process for removing sulfur from hydrocarbon streams. HDS remains a cost-effective option for light streams with sulfur levels up to about 2%
(w/w) elemental sulfur, but the environmental and economic benefits of HDS are offset in very heavy and sour (>2% elemental sulfur) streams because the energy input to the reaction, the high pressures and the amount of hydrogen necessary to remove the sulfur paradoxically create a substantial CO2 emission problem.

[0006] Because of these issues, reduction of contaminants and, in particular, of the sulfur content in hydrocarbon streams has become a major objective of environmental legislation worldwide. Sulfur is regulated in the United States for on-road diesel at a maximum concentration of 15 ppm. By October 2012, sulfur specifications will be 15 ppm for non-road, locomotive, and marine diesel fuel. In the European Union that specification is expected to tighten to 10 ppm in January 2011 for diesels intended for inland waterways and for on-road and off-road diesel operated equipment. In China, the on-road diesel specification will be 10 ppm by 2012. Currently the tightest specifications in the world are in Japan, where the on-road diesel specification is 10 ppm.
[0007] Refiners typically use catalytic hydrodesulfurizing ("HDS", commonly referred to as "hydrotreating") methods to lower the sulfur content of hydrocarbon fuels, decrease the total acid number, and increase the API gravity. In HDS, a hydrocarbon stream that is derived from petroleum distillation is treated in a reactor that operates at temperatures ranging between 575 and 750 F. (about 300 to about 400 C.), a hydrogen pressure that ranges between 430 to 14,500 psi (3000 to 10,000 kPa or 30 to 100 atmospheres) and hourly space velocities ranging between 0.5 and 4 h-1. Dibenzothiophenes in the feed react with hydrogen when in contact with a catalyst arranged in a fixed bed that comprises metal sulfides from groups VI
and VIII (e.g., cobalt and molybdenum sulfides or nickel and molybdenum sulfides) supported on alumina.
Because of the operating conditions and the use of hydrogen, these methods can be costly both in capital investment and operating costs.
and VIII (e.g., cobalt and molybdenum sulfides or nickel and molybdenum sulfides) supported on alumina.
Because of the operating conditions and the use of hydrogen, these methods can be costly both in capital investment and operating costs.
[0008] As is currently known, HDS or hydrotreating may provide a treated product in compliance with the current strict sulfur level targets. However, due to the presence of sterically hindered refractory sulfur compounds such as substituted dibenzothiophenes, the process is not without issues. For example, it is particularly difficult to eliminate traces of sulfur using such catalytic processes when the sulfur is contained in molecules such as dibenzothiophene with alkyl substituents in position 4-, or 4- and 6-positions of the parent ring.
Attempts to completely convert these species, which are more prevalent in heavier stocks such as diesel fuel and fuel oil, have resulted in increased equipment costs, more frequent catalyst replacements, degradation of product quality due to side reactions, and continued inability to comply with the strictest sulfur requirements for some feeds.
Attempts to completely convert these species, which are more prevalent in heavier stocks such as diesel fuel and fuel oil, have resulted in increased equipment costs, more frequent catalyst replacements, degradation of product quality due to side reactions, and continued inability to comply with the strictest sulfur requirements for some feeds.
[0009] This has prompted many to pursue non-hydrogen alternatives to desulfurization, such as oxydesulfurization. One attempt at solving the problem discussed above includes selectively desulfurizing dibenzothiophenes contained in the hydrocarbon stream by oxidizing the dibenzothiophenes into a sulfone in the presence of an oxidizing agent, followed by optionally separating the sulfone compounds from the rest of the hydrocarbon stream and further reacting the sulfones with a caustic to remove the sulfur moiety from the hydrocarbon fragment.
[0010] Oxidation has been found to be beneficial because oxidized sulfur compounds can be removed using a variety of separation processes that rely on the altered chemical properties such as the solubility, volatility, and reactivity of the sulfone compounds. An important consideration in employing oxidation is chemical selectivity.
Selective oxidation of sulfur heteroatom moieties without oxidizing the plethora of olefins and benzylic hydrocarbons found in crude oils, refinery intermediates, and refinery products remains a significant challenge.
One selective sulfoxidation method and system is disclosed in International Publication Number WO 2009/120238 Al, to Litz et al. The inventors of the present disclosure have further discovered that the catalyst of the above-mentioned international publication number is further capable of oxidizing additional heteroatoms, including, but not limited to nitrogen and phosphorus found as naturally abundant contaminants in crude oils, refinery intermediates, and refinery products as organic heteroatom-containing compounds. Figure 1 describes a table of available oxidation states for organic heteroatom compounds.

Figure 1 describes a table of available oxidation states for organic heteroatom compounds.
[0011] Another concern with heteroatom oxidation lies in the fate of the oxidized organic heteroatom compounds produced. If the oxidized organic heteroatom compounds are hydrotreated, they may be converted back to the original heteroatom compounds thereby regenerating the original problem. The feed heteroatom content may be likely to be in the range of 0% to 10% by weight heteroatom. Heteroatoms, on average, comprise about 15 wt % of substituted and unsubstituted organic heteroatom molecules. Therefore, up to 67 wt % of the oil may be removed as oxidized organic heteroatom extract if not removed from the organic molecules. For a typical refinery processing 40,000 barrels per day of crude oil, up to 27,000 barrels per day of oxidized organic heteroatom oil will be generated, which is believed to be too much to dispose conventionally as a waste product. Further, the disposal of oxidized organic heteroatom oil also wastes valuable hydrocarbons, which could theoretically be recycled if an efficient process were available.
[0012] A considerable challenge presented to heteroatom removal remains the removal of the oxidized heteroatom fragment from the oxidized organic heteroatom compounds found in naturally occurring hydrocarbons or created by oxidation of the initial organic heteroatom species, without producing substantial oxygenated by-product. Therefore, a need exists for methods and systems for upgrading heteroatom-contaminated hydrocarbon feed streams by removing heteroatom contaminants from hydrocarbon streams with the added benefit of decreasing the total acid number and increasing the API gravity of the resulting product relative to the contaminated hydrocarbon feed stream.

[0059] Suitable crown ethers, which may be further substituted, include, but are not limited to, 18-crown-6, 15-crown-5, etc; and/or mixtures thereof
[0060] Preferred selectivity promoters, based on reaction conversion and selectivity, are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, triethanolamine, and/or mixtures thereof
[0061] The selectivity promoter is believed to decrease the likelihood of oxygenated byproduct formation as a result of the oxidized hetero atom removal.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention the at least one caustic and the at least one selectivity promoter may be different components. In another embodiment of the present invention the at least one caustic and the at least one selectivity promoter may be the same component. When the at least one caustic and the at least one selectivity promoter are the same component they may be referred to as a caustic selectivity promoter.
Moreover, a suitable caustic selectivity promoter may possess the properties of both the at least one caustic and the at least one selectivity promoter. That is, combinations of caustics with selectivity promoters may react (in situ or a priori) to form a caustic selectivity promoter which has the properties of both a caustic and a selectivity promoter.

That is, combinations of caustics with selectivity promoters may react (in situ or a priori) to form a caustic selectivity promoter which has the properties of both a caustic and a selectivity promoter.
[0063] The caustic selectivity promoter may react with the oxidized heteroatom-containing compounds, such as dibenzothiophene sulfoxides, dibenzothiophene sulfones, and/or mixtures thereof, to produce substantially non-oxygenated hydrocarbon products, such as biphenyls. Non-limiting examples of caustic selectivity promoters include, but are not limited to, sodium ascorbate, sodium erythorbate, sodium gluconate, 4-hydroxyphenyl glycol, sodium salts of starch or cellulose, potassium salts of starch or cellulose, sodium salts of chitan or chitosan, potassium salts of chitan or chitosan, sodium glycolate, glyceraldehyde sodium salt, 1-thio-beta-D-glucose sodium salt, and/or mixtures thereof
[0064] For example, the caustic, such as sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide and the selectivity promoter, such as ethylene glycol, may react in situ or prior to contacting with the oxidized heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed, to form water and a caustic selectivity promoter, such as the sodium or potassium salt of ethylene glycol. Generally, an excess molar ratio of selectivity promoter hydroxyl groups to caustic cations is preferred for conversion and selectivity. The step of contacting may be any process that leads to transformation of the reactants or reagents from one set of chemical substance to another at various temperatures, reaction rates and chemical concentrations.
[0065] The promoted-caustic visbreaker reaction may take place at a temperature in the range of from about 150 C to about 350 C, at a pressure in the range of from about 0 psig to about 2000 psig, with a contact time in the range of from about 2 minutes to about 180 minutes. Without being limited to any particular theory, the reaction mechanism is believed to include a solvolysis reaction; particularly alcoholysis when the selectivity promoter is an alcohol, and aminolysis when the selectivity promoter is an amine; without the selectivity promoter of the present invention, the reaction mechanism may involve hydrolysis which leads to the undesirable formation of substantially oxygenated product.
[0066] Generally, the mole ratio of caustic to selectivity promoter is in the range of from about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably the mole ratio of caustic to selectivity promoter is in the range of from about 3:1 to about 1:3, and more preferably the mole ratio of caustic to selectivity promoter is in the range of from about 2:1 to about 1:2.
[0067] Generally, the mole ratio of caustic and selectivity promoter to oxidized heteroatom in the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed oil is in the range of from about 100:1 to about 1:1, preferably the mole ratio of caustic and selectivity promoter to oxidized heteroatom in the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed oil is in the range of from about 10:1 to about 1:1, and more preferably the mole ratio of caustic and selectivity promoter to oxidized heteroatom in the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed oil is in the range of from about 3:1 to about 1:1. Separation of the heavy caustic phase from the light oil phase may be by gravity.
Other suitable methods include, but are not limited to, solvent extraction of the caustic or oil phases, such as by washing with water, centrifugation, distillation, vortex separation, and membrane separation and combinations thereof Trace quantities of caustic and selectivity promoter may be removed according to known methods by those skilled in the art.

[0068] As a result of removing the oxidized heteroatom contaminants from the oxidized heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed and producing few oxygenated by-products, the light oil phase product has a lower density and viscosity than the untreated, contaminated feed. The heavy caustic phase density is generally in the range of from about 1.0 to about 3.0 g/mL and the light product oil phase density is generally in the range of from about 0.7 to about 1.1 g/mL.
[0069] Without the selectivity promoter the treated stream contains substantial oxygenated by-products. Generally, the method of the present invention produces less than about 70% oxygenated by-products, preferably less than about 40% oxygenated by-products, and more preferably less than about 20% oxygenated by-products in the treated stream. This beneficial effect is more clearly demonstrated in the non-limiting examples below.
[0070] In the above embodiments, a number of oxidized heteroatom byproducts have been observed as a result of the oxidized heteroatom cleavage process. For example, the cleavage of oxidized sulfur from oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbons has been observed to result in the formation of a number of oxidized heteroatom byproducts including, for example, sulfite and sulfate.
[0071] As illustrated in Figure 2, an oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 250 is reacted with a caustic (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, eutectic mixtures thereof etc.) and a selectivity promoter 256 in reactor 251 to produce a biphasic first intermediate stream 252. First intermediate stream 252 is transferred to product separator 253 where oxidized heteroatom byproducts 255 are removed. A hydrocarbon product with reduced oxidized heteroatom content 254 is obtained.
[0072] As illustrated in Figure 3, an oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 270 is reacted with a caustic and a selectivity promoter 278 in reactor 271 to produce a biphasic first intermediate stream 272. First intermediate stream 272 is then sent to a product separator 273 where caustic, selectivity promoter and oxidized heteroatom byproduct 275 are removed from the hydrocarbon stream. Optionally, oxidized heteroatom byproduct 276 may be subsequently removed from the caustic and selectivity promoter 278 in recovery vessel 277, allowing for reuse of the caustic and selectivity promoter. A hydrocarbon product with reduced oxidized heteroatom content 274 is obtained.
[0073] As illustrated in Figure 4, an oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 210 is contacted with a solvent 212 in product separator 211 to produce first intermediate stream 214 and substantially oxidized heteroatom-free hydrocarbon product stream 213.
First intermediate stream 214 comprises an oxidized-heteroatom-contaminated hydrocarbon stream with an increased oxidized-heteroatom concentration. First intermediate stream 214 is then sent to solvent extraction vessel 215 where solvent extract 225 is removed to produce second intermediate stream 216.

First intermediate stream 214 is then sent to solvent extraction vessel 215 where solvent extract 225 is removed to produce second intermediate stream 216.
[0074] Second intermediate stream 216 may be reacted with caustic and selectivity promoter 224 in reactor vessel 217 to produce a biphasic third intermediate stream 218. Third intermediate stream 218 is transferred to second product separator 219 from which a hydrocarbon product with reduced oxidized heteroatom content 220 is obtained.
The denser phase 221 containing the selectivity promoter and caustic and oxidized heteroatom byproducts may be transferred to a recovery vessel 223 in which the selectivity promoter and caustic 224 may be recovered to reactor 217 and the oxidized heteroatom-containing byproduct 222 may be sent to a recovery area for further processing, as would be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0075] As illustrated in Figure 5, a heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 10 may be combined with an oxidant 11 and subjected to an oxidizing process in an oxidizer vessel 12 in order to meet current and future environmental standards. The oxidizer vessel 12 may optionally contain a catalyst or promoter (not shown).
[0076] After subjecting a hydrocarbon stream to oxidation conditions in oxidizer vessel 12, thereby oxidizing at least a portion of the heteroatom compounds (e.g., oxidizing dibenzothiophenes to sulfones), a first intermediate stream 13 may be generated. The first intermediate stream 13 may be reacted with caustic (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, eutectic mixtures thereof etc.) and a selectivity promoter 24 to produce a biphasic second intermediate stream 16.
[0077] Second intermediate stream 16 may be transferred to a product separator from which a substantially heteroatom-free hydrocarbon product 20 may be recovered from the light phase. The denser phase 21 containing the selectivity promoter and caustic and oxidized heteroatom by-products may be transferred to a recovery vessel 22 in which the selectivity promoter and caustic 24 may be recovered and recycled to reactor 14 and the oxidized heteroatom-containing byproduct 26 may be sent to a recovery area for further processing, as would be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0078] In a more specific embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 6A, a heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 30 may be combined with a hydroperoxide 32 in a catalytic oxidizer 34 thereby oxidizing the heteroatoms yielding a first intermediate stream 36. First intermediate stream 36 may be fed to a by-product separator 38 from which the hydroperoxide by-product may be recovered and recycled for reuse in catalytic oxidizer 34 (as would be understood by those skilled in the art) yielding a second intermediate stream 39. The second intermediate stream 39 may be reacted with a selectivity promoter and caustic feed 42 in promoted-caustic visbreaker 40 producing a third intermediate biphasic stream 44 that may be separated in product separator 46 to produce a substantially heteroatom-free hydrocarbon product 48 from the light phase. The dense phase 49 from product separator 46 may be transferred to heteroatom by-product separator 50 from which a oxidized heteroatom-containing byproduct stream 52 and selectivity promoter and caustic feed 42 may be independently recovered, as would be known by those skilled in the art.
[0079] In still another embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 6B, the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 30 may be combined with hydroperoxide 32 and contacted with a catalyst in catalytic oxidizer 34 yielding first intermediate stream 60 which may be transferred to a promoted- caustic visbreaker 40 where it reacts with selectivity promoter and caustic feed 42 producing a biphasic second intermediate stream 62. Second intermediate stream 62 may be transferred to a product separator 38 from which a substantially heteroatom-free hydrocarbon product stream 48 may be removed as the light phase and transported to storage or commercial use. The byproduct separator 54 may separate the dense phase 64 into two streams: an oxidizied heteroatom-containing by-product stream 52 (which may be transported to storage or commercial use) and a by-product mixture stream 66 containing the selectivity promoter, caustic, and hydroperoxide by-products for recovery and recycle, as would be known by those skilled in the art.
[0080] In yet another embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 7, the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 30 may be mixed with a hydroperoxide feed 32 and may be reacted with a catalyst or promoter (not shown) in the catalytic oxidizer 34 producing a first intermediate stream 36. Stream 36 may be transferred to a by-product separator 38 from which the hydroperoxide by-product 37 may be separated producing a second intermediate stream 70.
Stream 70 may be extracted by solvent 78 in product separator 46 (e.g. a liquid-liquid extraction column) from which a substantially heteroatom-free hydrocarbon product 72 may be withdrawn resulting in a third intermediate stream 74.

Stream 80 may be treated in the promoted-caustic visbreaker 40 containing selectivity promoter and caustic feed 42 producing a biphasic fifth intermediate stream 82. The two phases of stream 82 may be separated in product separator 84 as a light phase 48 and a dense phase 86. The light phase 48 may comprise a substantially heteroatom-free hydrocarbon product that may be shipped to storage or commercial use. The dense phase 86 may be transferred to a heteroatom by-product separator 88 from which an oxidized heteroatom-containing byproduct stream 52 may be separated from resulting in a stream 42 containing a selectivity promoter and caustic that may be recovered and recycled for reuse in the promoted-caustic visbreaker 40, as would be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0081] In still another embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 8, the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed 30 may be fed to a catalytic oxidizer 34 where it may be reacted with catalyst stream 90 in the catalytic oxidizer 34 producing a first intermediate stream 92.
Stream 92 may be transferred to catalyst separator 94 from which a second intermediate stream 70 and a depleted catalyst stream 96 may be separated. Stream 96 may be fed to catalyst regenerator 98 for regeneration by oxidant feed 100 producing catalyst stream 90 and an oxidant by-product stream 102. Oxidant by-product stream 102 may be optionally recovered, recycled, and reused as would be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0082] Figure 9 illustrates how the selectively of the reaction of the present disclosure is improved to form more valuable products. Dibenzothiophene sulfone was chosen as a model sulfur compound because most of the sulfur in an average diesel fuel is in the form of substituted or unsubstituted dibenzothiophene. Equation (1) illustrates how hydroxide attacks the sulfur atom of dibenzothiophene sulfone (A), forming biphenyl-2-sulfonate (B).
Equation (2) illustrates how hydroxide may attack B at the carbon atom adjacent to the sulfur atom, forming biphenyl-2-ol (C) and sulfite salts (D). Compound C may ionize in basic media, and may dissolve in the aqueous or molten salt layer. Equation (3) illustrates how hydroxide may attack the sulfur atom of B to form biphenyl (E) and sulfate salts (F). Equation (4) illustrates how, in the presence of a primary alcohol, including, but not limited to, methanol, methoxide ions generated in-situ may attack the carbon atom, forming ether compounds, such as methoxybiphenyl (G). Equation (5) illustrates the reaction of dibenzothiophene sulfone with alkoxides alone, not in the presence of hydroxide, as taught by Aida et al, to form bipheny1-2-methoxy-2'-sulfinate salt (H), which may be substantially soluble in the caustic. Using aqueous or molten hydroxide without the presently disclosed selectivity promoter will cause reaction (1) to occur, followed predominantly by reaction (2). When the vicinal diol selectivity promoter disclosed herein is used, reaction (1) occurs, followed predominantly by reaction (3). When the primary selectivity promoter (alcohol) disclosed herein is used, reaction (1) occurs, followed predominantly by reaction (4). It can be seen that the hydrogen atoms that become attached to biphenyl come from hydroxide. When water is used in the regeneration of the caustic, the ultimate source of the hydrogen atoms added to the biphenyl may be water.

[0090] Continuous Catalytic Removal of Heteroatoms from a Heteroatom-contaminated Light Atmospheric Gas Oil
[0091] Straight- run light atmospheric gas oil (LAGO) (3.45 % sulfur) and cumene hydroperoxide (30% in cumene, fed at a rate of 2.1 mole equivalents to sulfur in LAGO feed) are fed to a fixed bed reactor containing pelletized titanyl polymeric catalyst, prepared in accordance with Example 1, at about 85 C with a combined LHSV of about 1.0 hr-1 producing a first intermediate stream. The first intermediate stream is vacuum distilled at -25 in Hg to remove and recover a low boiling distillate comprising cumene, cumyl alcohol, alpha-methylstyrene, and acetophenone from a heavy second intermediate stream. The heavy second intermediate stream essentially comprises light atmospheric gas oil with oxidized heteroatom compounds. The second intermediate stream is then fed into a heated reactor wherein it combines with a feed stream containing caustic and ethylene glycol (the combined liquid residence time is 1.0 hr-1) to produce a biphasic mixture that exits the reactor. The biphasic mixture is then separated by gravity to produce a light phase product comprising essentially heteroatom-free LAGO and a heavy phase by-product stream comprising essentially caustic, ethylene glycol, and heteroatom-containing salts. Sulfur removal from the light phase product is greater than 50%, nitrogen removal is greater than 50%, vanadium removal is greater than 50%, nickel removal is greater than 50%, and iron removal is greater than 50% when the samples are measured for elemental composition and compared against the LAGO feed composition. The heavy phase by-product is further treated according to known methods to recover and recycle the caustic and ethylene glycol from the heteroatom by-products.
