  • Synthesis of acidic silica to upgrade heavy feeds
    Patent number: 9453168
    Abstract: A method and a product made by treating a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon heavy feed, e.g., heavy crude asphaltene reduction is disposed herein. The method comprises the steps of: mixing the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon heavy feed with a hydrogen donor solvent and an addled silica to form a mixture and oxidizing the sulfur in the mixture at a temperature between 50° C. and 210° C. wherein the oxidation lowers the amount sulfur in the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon heavy feed by at least 90%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2016
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Karina Castillo, Jason Parsons, Russell R. Chianelli
