Process For Desulfurization Of Residua With Sodamide-Hydrogen And Regeneration Of Sodamide

US Patent:
4120779, Oct 17, 1978
Filed:
Aug 11, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/713628
Inventors:
William Chalmers Baird - Baton Rouge LA
Roby Bearden - Baton Rouge LA
Ralph Louis Bollinger - Baton Rouge LA
Assignee:
Exxon Research & Engineering Co. - Linden NJ
International Classification:
C10G 1306, B01J 2304, B01J 2390
US Classification:
208108
Abstract:
Sulfur-containing petroleum oil feedstocks which include heavy hydrocarbon constituents undergo simultaneous desulfurization and hydroconversion by contacting and reacting such feedstocks with sodamide in the presence of hydrogen and at elevated temperatures. The mixture of reaction products resulting from the above procedure is separated to give a sodium sulfur salt by-product, and a petroleum oil product which has been substantially desulfurized and demetallized, as well as being significantly improved as indicated by a reduced Conradson carbon content and an increased API gravity relative to the feedstock. Sodamide is regenerated from the sodium sulfur salt by-product and can be recycled for reaction with additional feedstock.
