Hydrotreating petroleum heavy ends in aromatic solvents with large pore size alumina

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5649030
; ;
A process is described for demetallizing and desulfurizing a residual oil which comprises: (a) adding to the residual oil an aromatic solvent selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, xylene and light cycle oil reformates; (b) passing the resulting mixture of residual oil and solvent together with hydrogen in contact with a catalyst consisting essentially of calcined alumina having an average pore size diameter greater than about 220 Angstroms; and (c) recovering from the resulting product stream a residual oil having a substantially reduced sulfur and metal content.
