Claims4
A process for the desulfurization of a hydrocarbonaceous black oil containing sulfur and asphaltic material which comprises preheating said oil by indirect heat exchange to a temperature not in excess of about 550.degree.F., commingling with the preheated oil a steam-containing gas in sufficient amount and of sufficient temperature to raise the oil to a desulfurization temperature of from about 600.degree.F. to about 800.degree.F., and contacting the thus heated oil at a hydrocarbon conversion conditions with a desulfurization catalyst.
