Abstract: A combination process for reducing the soluble arsenic content of shale oil comprising thermally dearsenating the shale oil to make an aged shale oil, coking at least a portion of the aged shale oil, and catalytically hydroprocessing at least a portion of the coker distillate to produce a shale oil product having a low soluble arsenic content.
Abstract: A gasoline boiling range hydrocarbon stream obtained by fractionation of overhead vapors from a delayed coker is treated for removal of organic silicon compounds prior to being processed in a desulfurizer and catalytic reformer. The stream is treated by a bed of material such as alumina, activated alumina or spent alumina-based desulfurizer catalyst at elevated temperature to reduce the level of organic silicon compounds. The organic silicon compounds, if not removed, are detrimental to desulfurizer and reformer catalysts. The organic silicon compounds are conventionally added to a delayed coker to control foaming.
Abstract: A hydrogen donor diluent cracking process for converting hydrogen deficient residual petroleum oils to more valuable distillates. A premium coker gas-oil is utilized as the hydrogen donor diluent.
Abstract: Pyrolysis naphtha is contacted with a residuum hydrocarbon charge stock under process conditions suitable for delayed coking of said residuum hydrocarbon charge. Unstable olefinic and diolefinic components of said pyrolysis naphtha are reduced in the product naphtha. Such conversion of unstable olefin and diolefin components is accomplished without substantial conversion of aromatic components of said pyrolysis naphtha.
Abstract: A combination process is provided for residua demetalation and desulfurization and resulting coke gasification which comprises contacting said residua with a porous refractory oxide in the absence of added hydrogen, at a temperature of from greater than 700.degree.F to about 1100.degree.F and a refractory oxide to oil weight ratio of from about 0.1 to about 5 to produce upgraded residua of cracking feed quality, and contacting said refractory oxide after an amount of coke has formed thereon with steam and a free oxygen containing gas in which the mole ratio of steam to oxygen is from about 3 to about 5, at a temperature of from about 1000.degree.F to about 1500.degree.F to produce producer gas and regenerated porous refractory oxide for further contacting with residua.

Abstract: Any kind of virgin, low-sulfur crude oil is directly treated in a two-stage delayed coking process for yielding non-crystalline coke in the first stage and high-crystalline coke in the second stage, which process comprises preheating the crude oil in a tube heater to 460.degree. - 520.degree.C under 5-20 kg/cm.sup.2 G, maintaining the oil therein at that temperature for 30 - 500 seconds to allow the oil to be heat-soaked, subjecting the oil to first delayed coking under relatively mild conditions and subjecting the uncoked heavy residual oil to second delayed coking under relatively severe conditions.
