Definitions

  • This invention relates to the removal of vanadium and/or sodium from petroleum and petroleum products.
  • vanadium and/or sodium in petroleum or petroleum products can be removed by treatment with fullers earth.
  • a process for removing vanadium and/or sodium from crude petroleum or a petroleum product comprises contacting the crude petroleum or petroleum product with fullers earth, in the presence of hydrogen and under conditions of temperature and pressure such that vanadium and/or sodium is/ are deposited on the fullers earth.
  • the process of the invention is particularly adaptable as a pretreatment 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.
  • a process for removing vanadium and sodium from a crude petroleum feedstock comprising contacting the petroleum feedstock with a contact material consisting of fullers earth at a space velocity in the range of about 0.5 to 2.0 v./v./hr. in the presence of hydrogen, and at a temperature within the range of about 750 800 F., and at a pressure in the range of about 500-1500 p. s. i. ga. whereby the vanadium and sodium are deposited on the fullers earth.
  • a process according to claim 1, comprising subsequently passing the treated feedstock to a hydrogenation zone for the removal of organically combined sulphur.
