Abstract
Contact of a crude feed with one or more catalysts comprising one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table produces a total product that includes a crude product. The crude feed contains oxygen and sulfur. The crude product is a liquid mixture at 25° C. and 0.101 MPa and contains at most 90% of the oxygen content of the crude feed and from 70% to 130% of the sulfur content of the crude feed.
Claims25
A method of producing a crude product, comprising:
- contacting a crude feed with one or more catalysts to produce a total product that includes the crude product, wherein the crude product is a liquid mixture at 25° C. and 0.101 MPa, the crude feed having, per gram of crude feed:
- an oxygen content of at least 0.0001 grams of oxygen, and a sulfur content of at least 0.0001 grams of sulfur, and at least one of the catalysts comprising one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, one or more compounds of one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, or mixtures thereof;
- and
- controlling contacting conditions such that the crude product has an oxygen content of at most 90% of the oxygen content of the crude feed, and the crude product has a sulfur content of about 70% to about 130% of the sulfur content of the crude feed, wherein oxygen content is as determined by ASTM Method E385, and sulfur content is as determined by ASTM Method D4294.
