PROCESS FOR PREPARING PURIFIED FISCHER-TROPSCH GASOIL FRACTION

摘要

The present invention provides a process for preparing a high purity Fischer-Tropsch gasoil fraction, comprising : a) providing a Fischer-Tropsch-derived gasoil feedstock comprising one or more contaminants; b) providing the Fischer-Tropsch-derived gasoil feedstock to a fractionation zone and fractionating the Fischer-Tropsch-derived gasoil feedstock into two or more Fischer-Tropsch gasoil fractions having a different boiling point range, wherein at least one Fischer-Tropsch gasoil fraction is a contaminant-containing Fischer- Tropsch gasoil fraction; c) providing the contaminant-containing Fischer- Tropsch gasoil fraction to an absorption zone comprising at least one absorbent material and contacting the contaminant-containing Fischer-Tropsch gasoil fraction with the absorbent material to absorb at least part of contaminant; and d) retrieving from the absorption zone a purified Fischer-Tropsch gasoil fraction, which is contaminant- depleted. The invention further provides for the use of the purified Fischer-Tropsch gasoil fraction.
