Definitions

  • vanadium and/or sodium in petroleum or petroleum products can be removed by treatment with iron oxide on alumina.
  • a process for removing vanadium and/ or sodium from crude petroleum or a petroleum product comprises contacting the crude petroleum or petroleum product with a contact material consisting essentially of iron oxide and alumina, in the presence of hydrogen and under conditions of temperature and pressure such that vanadium and/or sodium are/ is deposited on the contact material.
  • the contact material preferably contains from 515% by weight of ferric oxide the remainder consisting essentially of alumina.
  • the process of the invention is particularly adaptable as a pre-treatment process for crude petroleum or petroleum products which are to be passed to a catalytic hydrogenation process for the removal of organically combined sulphur.
  • a catalytic hydrogenation process for the removal of organically combined sulphur.
  • This invention also includes a continuous process wherein a petroleum feedstock containing vanadium and/or sodium is first treated with iron oxide on alumina, as above described, and is then passed to a hydrogenation zone for the removal of organically combined sulphur.
  • a process for removing vanadium and sodium from a crude petroleum feedstock comprising contacting the petroleum feedstock with a contact material consisting essentially of alumina to which has been added 5-15 by weight of ferric oxide in the presence of hydrogen and at a temperature within the range of about 750800 F. and a pressure within the range of about 500-1500 p. s. i. g. a. such that vanadium and sodium are deposited on the contact material.
