  • Patent number: 4364819
    Abstract: A process for the conversion of an asphaltene-containing, hydrocarbonaceous black oil in a catalytic slurry reaction zone wherein an admixture of converted hydrocarbonaceous oil and deasphalter solvent is recycled to the reaction zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 1981
    Date of Patent: December 21, 1982
    Assignee: UOP Inc.
    Inventors: Leroi E. Hutchings, Algie J. Conner
  • Patent number: 4358365
    Abstract: A process for the conversion of an asphaltene-containing, hydrocarbonaceous black oil in a catalytic slurry reaction zone wherein an admixture of converted hydrocarbonaceous oil and unconverted asphaltenes is recycled to the reaction zone.

  • Patent number: 4152292
    Abstract: A method for initiating essentially complete oxidation of carbon monoxide, resulting from the oxidative removal of coke from spent FCC catalyst, to carbon monoxide in a dense-phase bed of catalyst maintained in a regeneration zone. Coke is oxidized at first oxidizing conditions including a temperature of from about 750.degree. F. to about 1250.degree. F. to produce partially spent regeneration gas and regenerated catalyst having a first carbon content. The essentially complete oxidation of carbon monoxide is initiated by: (a) increasing the coke on regenerated catalyst from the first carbon content to a second carbon content and then (b) passing to the dense bed fresh regeneration gas at a flow rate at least stoichiometrically sufficient to produce regenerated catalyst having a third carbon content, less than the first carbon content, and sufficient to produce spent regeneration gas.
