  • Removal of nitrogenous compounds from petroleum processing products using chlorosilylated silica gel
    Patent number: 4529504
    Abstract: A process is described for removing both high polar and neutral nitrogen compounds from petroleum processing liquid products and petroleum distillate fractions. According to the novel feature, a chlorosilylated silica gel is used as adsorbent for the nitrogen compounds. This adsorbent has been found to be superior to regular silica gel and commercial ion exchange resins for removing particularly the neutral nitrogen compounds.

  • Clarification of black water produced during recovery of bitumens and heavy oils
    Patent number: 4519915
    Abstract: Hot water is an important component in the recovery or extraction of bitumen and heavy oils. This hot water tends to form emulsions with the oil and when these emulsions are broken by demulsifiers and the oil separates, the remaining water retains a black color and cannot be recycled in the process. The black color has been most difficult to remove, but it has now been found that it can quite easily be removed by certain selected adsorbents. These include high ash coal rejects, fly ash from coking gas and red mud.
