Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021236827A1] The present technology provides processes for improving the performance of downstream oil conversion. Thus it provides, among others, processes for improving the yield of liquid hydrocarbons from a thermal conversion process. The processes include contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock with an effective amount of sodium metal and an effective amount of exogenous capping agent at a temperature of 250-500°C, to produce a mixture of sodium salts and a converted feedstock. The hydrocarbon feedstock may comprise hydrocarbons with a sulfur content of at least 0.5 wt%, an asphaltene content of at least 1 wt% and micro carbon residue content of at least 5 wt%. The converted feedstock may comprise hydrocarbons with a sulfur content less than that in the hydrocarbon feedstock, a micro carbon residue content less than that in the hydrocarbon feedstock and an asphaltene content less than that in the hydrocarbon feedstock. The process further comprises subjecting the converted feedstock to a thermal conversion process to produce a gaseous product, a purified product and a residual product, wherein the proportion of purified product to residual product is greater than that produced by subjecting the hydrocarbon feedstock in the same thermal conversion process.
