A method for the removal of metals from hydrocarbon stream by passing the oil over a bed of high surface area ceramic material at elevated temperatures. Contact with the ceramic material causes the metals to be absorbed on to the surface of the material and undergo a chemical reaction. The oil after contact with the material contains little or no metals. The metals can be removed from the material by reversing the chemical reaction with the addition of hot steam. The steam has the added benefit of enhancing the material and making it more reactive towards the next metal laden petroleum feedstock. The steam/metal stream can be collected and concentrated to efficiently dispose of the metals taken from the oil.

Divulgation d'une méthode pour éliminer les métaux d'un circuit d'hydrocarbures en faisant passer le pétrole sur un lit de matériau céramique à surface efficace élevée, à haute température. Le contact avec le matériau céramique provoque l'absorption des métaux à la surface du matériau et une réaction chimique. Le pétrole après ce contact avec le matériau contient peu ou plus de métaux. Les métaux peuvent être éliminés du matériau en inversant la réaction chimique par addition de vapeur chaude. La vapeur a aussi l'avantage d'améliorer le matériau et de le rendre plus réactif pour la prochaine charge de pétrole contenant des métaux. Le circuit vapeur/métal peut être recueilli et concentré afin d'éliminer efficacement les métaux extraits du pétrole.
