A novel demetalation process for residue oils, based on a combination of photochemical reaction and liquid−liquid extraction, has been investigated. A simultaneous photoreaction and extraction process, employing an oil/water two-phase system, was first studied. The results for the demetalation, obtained for vanadyl(IV)- and nickel(II)tetraphenylporphyrin dissolved in tetralin, were compared with those obtained for actual atmospheric residue oil. It was found that this first process was able to demetalize “free”-type metalloporphyrins, but had difficulty in the demetalation of “bound”-type metalloporphyrins, which are associated strongly with the asphaltenic molecules in residue oil. To weaken this association and thus convert the bound-type metalloporphyrins to the free-type ones, a hydrogen-donating polar solvent, 2-propanol, was added to the residue oil and photoirradiated. The 2-propanol was then removed by evaporation, and the resulting residue oil was contacted with aqueous HCl solution, into which t...
