REFININ G OF LIQUID R SEMILIQUID CARBONACEOU S MATERIALS Gerald E. Phillips, Cranford, N. J., assignor to Standard Oil Development Company, a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application August 31, 1949,
' Serial No. 113,470
iciaims. (01.196-56) This invention relates to an improved method of treating or refining liquid or semi-liquid carbonaceous materials such as shale oil or petroleum residuum and particularly to processes which give improved yields of distillate oil.
Shale oil and heavy petroleum residuum have been subjected to pyrolytic treatments in order to increase the amount of distillate oil obtained therefrom. These processes, commonly termed coking, involve heating the petroleum residuum, shale oil or the like to temperatures of 700 to about 1100 F. and maintaining them at these temperatures until they are converted to gaseous material, liquid distillate fractions and solid coke. Since the gaseous material and coke are of limited usefulness or of less value than the distillate oils, it is obviously of advantage to so conduct the pyrolytic treatment of the shale oil or petroleum residuum asto obtain a maximum amount of distillate oil.
It is the object of this invention to provide the art with a novel method of treating shale oil or heavy petroleum residuum to increase the amount of distillate oil obtained therefrom.
It is also the object of this invention t provide the art with a method of pyrolytically treating or coking shale oil or heavy petroleum residuum which increases the yield of distillate oil primarily at the expense of coke formation.
These and other objects will appear more clear- 1y from the detailed specification and claims which follow.
It has now been found that an improvement in liquid yields or distillate oils can be obtained by coking shale oil or petroleum residuum in the presence of spent shale fines.
The exact mechanism by which the shale fines eifect this improvement in yield is not known but would appear to be catalytic in nature since an increase in liquid yield is not obtained when sand, an inert solid is substituted for the shale fines in the coking process. The catalytic efiect of the shale fines in this coking. operation is quite surprising since such fines do not appear to exert any appreciable eiiect in the cracking of ordinary gas oil. Moreover, other materials which have a catalytic effect in the cracking ofgas oil have a detrimental elfect upon the yield of distillate oil when used in the coking of shale oil or petroleum residuum. V p
The liquid to semi-liquid carbonaceous materials which can be advantageously coked in accordance with the present invention includes the i. e., those portions boiling above 700 F. and petroleum residues obtained after subjecting petro leum crude oil to atmospheric or vacuum distillation to remove therefrom a major portionof the constituents which boil below about 800 to 900 F. at atmospheric pressure. The petroleum'residues ordinarily comprise at most about20 to 30 vol. of the original oil and will have a boiling range above about 800 to 900 F.
The shale fines which may be utilizedas catalysts in the coking operation inaccordance with with the present invention may conveniently be the fines resulting from attrition'of spent shale in the retorting or distillation of oil shal by the fluidized solidstechnique. .The fines ordinarily represent from 30 to of the spent shale and a representative size distribution of thevspent -shale fines is as follows:
Particle size: Percent 7 Less than 10 microns 30-40 10-20 microns 30-40 20-40 microns 10-15 40+ microns 5-10 While particles of this size are desirable and conveniently obtained it Will be understood that larger sized particles can also be used and that shale fines of any desired size can be obtained by grinding the spent shale. Such spent shale may contain up to around 10 to 12% of burnable carbonaceous material. The fines used in the coking operation in accordance with the present invention are recoverable for reuse in the coking operation by burnin the coke or carbonaceous material that is deposited thereon during the coking operationf The amount of spent shale fines used may vary between about 2 to about 20, preferably from 5 to 15 pounds of fines per gallon of oil charged. Coking temperatures, are ordinarily between about 700 to 1100 F., preferably from 950 to 1050 F. and are maintained until the distillate oil is driven off and the residue is converted to coke.
