Abstract
Abstract A method for the removal of carbon or carbon compounds from a waste stream generated in an unsupported slurry catalyst process utilized for the hydroconversion of heavy hydrocarbonaceous black oil which stream comprises vanadium sulfide, nickel sulfide and carbon or carbon compounds is disclosed. The carbon or carbon compound is removed by contacting the waste stream with sulfur dioxide at oxidizing conditions to yield a solid residue which contains metal sulfides.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A method for the removal of carbon or carbon compounds from a waste stream formed in an unsupported slurry catalyst process utilized for the hydroconversion of heavy hydrocarbonaceous black oil which stream comprises vanadium sulfide, nickel sulfide and carbon or carbon compounds and which method comprises contacting said waste stream at oxidizing conditions with sulfur dioxide in an amount from about 1 to about 5 times the stoichiometric amount required to oxidize said carbon or carbon compounds to produce a high BTU gas containing carbon disulfide and carbon monoxide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
89 words
A method for the removal of carbon or carbon compounds from a waste stream formed in an unsupported slurry catalyst process utilized for the hydroconversion of heavy hydrocarbonaceous black oil which stream comprises vanadium sulfide, nickel sulfide and carbon or carbon compounds and which method comprises contacting said waste stream at oxidizing conditions with sulfur dioxide in an amount from about 1 to about 5 times the stoichiometric amount required to oxidize said carbon or carbon compounds to produce a high BTU gas containing carbon disulfide and carbon monoxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said oxidizing conditions include a temperature from about 900° F. to about 2200° F.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said oxidizing conditions include a pressure from ambient to about 1000 psig.

Claim 6
Independent Claim
125 words
A method for the removal of carbon or carbon compounds from a waste stream formed in an unsupported slurry catalyst process utilized for the hydroconversion of heavy hydrocarbonaceous black oil which stream comprises vanadium sulfide, nickel sulfide and carbon or carbon compounds and which process comprises: (a) contacting said waste stream with sulfur dioxide at oxidizing conditions to produce a high BTU gas containing carbon disulfide and carbon monoxide; (b) contacting at least a portion of the resulting high BTU gas with an oxygen containing gas to yield a carbon oxide and a sulfur oxide-containing gas stream; and (c) contacting the carbon oxide and sulfur oxide-containing gas stream resulting from step (b) with carbon disulfide to reduce the sulfur oxide and thereby produce elemental sulfur.
