Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
In a process for the treatment with hydrogen of an asphaltene containing charge of heavy hydrocarbons, wherein the charge is contacted with a catalyst containing molybdenum, under hydrotreatment conditions, the improvement comprising effecting the process by introducing into the heavy hydrocarbons charge a molybdenum blue solution in a polar organic solvent, said solvent having a normal boiling point higher than 140° C. and being soluble in said hydrocarbon charge, and then treating the so-modified hydrocarbon charge under said hydrotreatment conditions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
In a process for the treatment with hydrogen of an asphaltene containing charge of heavy hydrocarbons, wherein the charge is contacted with a catalyst containing molybdenum, under hydrotreatment conditions, the improvement comprising effecting the process by introducing into the heavy hydrocarbons charge a molybdenum blue solution in a polar organic solvent, said solvent having a normal boiling point higher than 140° C. and being soluble in said hydrocarbon charge, and then treating the so-modified hydrocarbon charge under said hydrotreatment conditions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the polar solvent is selected from alcohols, ethers, ketones, esters, phosphoric esters, phosphoric amides, sulfuric esters, amides and nitriles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the concentration of the solution is from 5 to 40% by weight, calculated as molybdenum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the polar solvent is maintained in the liquid phase during the hydrotreatment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the polar organic solvent is an alcohol having from 6 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the molybdenum blue solution is prepared by reducing an acidified aqueous solution of an alkali metal molybdate or heteromolybdate and extracting the resultant solution of molybdenum blue, under acid pH conditions, with said polar organic solvent, said solvent being not entirely miscible with water.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 6, wherein the reduction is performed using an aqueous solution containing both an alkali metal molybdate and an alkali metal phosphate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 6, wherein the reduction is performed by means of hydrazine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 6, wherein the pH of the molybdenum blue aqueous solution, during the extraction, is at most equal to 2.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 1, performed in the presence of an additional nickel or cobalt compound.
