Abstract: The present disclosure related generally to a process for removing chloride-containing organic compounds from renewable and bio-feedstocks. Accordingly, in one aspect, the present disclosure provides for a process for processing a liquid feed, the process comprising: providing a liquid feed that comprises one or more fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters, the liquid feed having a first chloride concentration by weight of chloride-containing organic compounds; and contacting the liquid feed with a solid treatment material to remove at least a fraction of the chloride-containing organic compounds to produce a treated liquid feed having a second chloride concentration that is less than the first chloride concentration, wherein the solid treatment material comprises an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal in ionic form.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes for handling renewable hydrocarbon feeds and conventional hydrocarbon feeds. One aspect of the disclosure provides a process for co-processing a renewable feed and a petroleum feed, the process comprising: hydrotreating the petroleum feed in a first reaction one, wherein the hydrotreating of the petroleum feed comprises one or more of hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodemetallization, isomerization, hydrogenation of olefins, and hydrocracking, to form a first reaction zone effluent; conducting the first reaction zone effluent to a second reaction zone; and in the second reaction zone hydrotreating a combination of the first reaction zone effluent and the renewable feed, wherein the hydrotreating of the combination comprises one or more of hydrodeoxygenation, decarboxylation, decarbonylation, isomerization and hydrogenation of olefins of the renewable feed, to form a second reaction zone effluent.

Abstract: Perovskite compounds that catalyze hydrogenolysis (e.g., hydrodeoxygenation, hydrodenitrogenation, and/or hydrodesulfurization) of heteroatom-containing compounds, as well as associated systems and methods, are generally described. In some embodiments, methods are provided for contacting a perovskite compound with a heteroatom-containing compound (e.g., a compound comprising oxygen, nitrogen, and/or sulfur) in the presence of hydrogen gas (H2) such that the perovskite compound catalyzes hydrogenolysis of the heteratom-containing compound to produce one or more hydrocarbon products (e.g., one or more aromatic hydrocarbons and/or aliphatic hydrocarbons). According to certain embodiments, the perovskite compound has the formula A1?xBxDO3, where A comprises a lanthanide, B comprises an alkaline earth metal, D comprises a transition metal, and x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. Compounds, systems, and methods described herein may be useful for applications involving petroleum (e.g.
