METHOD FOR REFORMING HEAVY OIL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for reforming a heavy oil by simply removing sulfur components contained in the heavy oil under mild conditions.

SOLUTION: The method for reforming a heavy oil is characterized by removing sulfur components contained in the heavy oil by mixing a saturated or supersaturated electrolyte solution and the heavy oil. By this method, sulfur components contained in a heavy oil such as A-heavy oil, B-heavy oil or C-heavy oil can be effectively removed without using supercritical water to which a metal or metal catalyst which reacts with water in the presence of alkali and generates hydrogen, has been added.
