Sulfuric Acid Assisted Extraction and Fractionation of Porphyrins From Heavy Petroleum Residuals With a High Content of Vanadium and Nickel

, , , , &
 

Abstract

Primary porphyrin extracts were obtained from carbon tetrarchloride solutions of different heavy oil residuals with assistance of sulfuric acid. According to data of chromatographic separation of extracts porphyrinic fractions appear in amount of 13.0–24.2%. Based on UV/visible absorption spectroscopy the presence of porphyrins of etio and phyllo types mostly with rhodo and deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrins in lower amount was established. The content of porphyrins in obtained fractions was determined at the level of 15.3–44.8% of the total weight. It was shown that a higher concentration of porphyrins in sulfuric acid extracts occurs for the case of the high vanadium and nickel content and low amounts relation of asphaltenes to resins.
