Najjar, M S

This patent describes two processes for the production of gaseous mixtures comprising H{sub 2} + CO by the partial oxidation of a feedstock comprising a high silicon and sulfur-containing heavy liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel having a nickel and vanadium-containing ash, or a high-silicon and sulfur-containing petroleum coke or tar sands having a nickel and vanadium-containing ash, or mixtures thereof. The feedstock includes a minimum of 0.5 wt. % of sulfur and more than about 20,000 parts per million of silicon; and the ash includes a minimum of 5.0 wt. % vanadium, a minimum of 2.0 wt. % of nickel, and a minor amount of Ca and Na.
