  • Metal separation from dragstream material of refining process
    Patent number: 4110398
    Abstract: A process for the separation of a low metals content organic material from an easily calcinable solid material, effected by treating a low-melting solid material, resulting from the refining of a hydrocarbon crude oil, with naphtha at an elevated temperature and pressure whereby the resulting solid material, after separation of the liquid organic material, is in condition to be readily calcinable.
