Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for reducing the amount of metal(s)-containing solid contaminants present in a hydrocarbon oil containing such contaminants.
  • hydrogen may be present, preferably together with a catalytically active metal.
  • metal content of some other metals such as certain metals from Group 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 6b and/or 8 of the Periodic Table of the Elements such as given in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 63rd edition, e.g. sodium, calcium, iron and/or molybdenum, can be brought down to an acceptable level by removing solids containing such contaminating metals.
  • Such process can be carried out without adding hydrogen to the process and at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. Solid contaminants having a relatively large diameter can be removed in a conventional desalting step.
  • the present invention relates to a process for reducing the amount of metal(s)-containing solid contaminants present in a hydrocarbon oil containing such contaminants, which process comprises contacting the hydrocarbon oil with porous solid material having a pore volume of at least 0.05 ml/g in pores having a diameter of at least 15 microns, which process is carried out without adding hydrogen.
  • the pore diameter in which a substantial amount of pore volume is preferred to be present depends on the diameter of the solid contaminants which are to be removed. Generally a pore volume of at least 0.05 ml/g in pores having a diameter of at least 15 microns is suitable. Preferably, a substantial pore volume, e.g. 0.03 ml/g, is present in pores having a diameter of at least 100 microns. Very suitable porous material to be used has a pore volume of at least 0.02 ml/g in pores having a diameter of at least 200 micons.
  • the pore size distribution and pore volume of the material employed can be readily measured by the mercury intrusion method.
  • the shape of the material is not critical and may take the form of spheres, hollow tubes, wheels, trilobes, quadrulobes, etc.
  • the diameter of the porous solid material particles is between 0.50 and 60 mm, more preferably between 1 and 40 mm.
  • the surface area of the porous solid material is not critical. However, due to the requirements on the pore diameter and pore volume, the porous material to be employed in the process according to the present invention will generally have a surface area of less than 2 m2/gram.
  • Porous solid material to be used comprises e.g. silica, alumina and silica/alumina.
  • Preferred materials comprise pumice stone and some commercially available catalyst carriers, e.g. as used in the preparation of ethylene oxyde catalysts. Suitable materials are mentioned in European patent specification 399.592, in which a hydrotreating process for the removal of suspended and dissolved (organo)metallic compounds has been described.
  • the process can be carried out at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. If desired, the process can be carried out at a temperature up to 500 °C and a pressure up to 20,000 kPa (200 bar).
  • the operating conditions which are preferred depend on the hydrocarbon oil which is subjected to the process. If for example a short residue, i.e. a residual hydrocarbon oil boiling above 520 °C, is to be subjected to the process of the present invention, the temperature and optionally pressure will be elevated due to the viscosity of such residue; suitable process conditions would comprise a temperature of between 200 and 350 °C and a pressure up to 8000 kPa (80 bar).
  • a long residue, containing hydrocarbons boiling above 270 °C is preferably processed at a temperature of between 150 and 350 °C and a pressure up to 8000 kPa (80 bar).
  • the amount of metal(s)-containing solid contaminants which is to be removed from the hydrocarbon oil by the present process can vary. Suitably, a substantial amount of the metal(s)-containing solid contaminants is removed.
