1. A method for reducing heteroatom content of a hydrocarbon feed comprising the steps of:
- oxidizing the hydrocarbon feed to an oxidized heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed;
contacting the oxidized heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed with a caustic treatment solution comprising a phenol-derived catalyst, a caustic and a selectivity promoter;
producing from said contacting step, a hydrocarbon product having a heteroatom content that is less than the heteroatom content of the oxidized heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed.

Abstract
A reaction system and method for removing heteroatoms from oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon streams and products derived therefrom are disclosed. An oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed is reacted in a reaction system thereby forming non-ionic hydrocarbon products. The products derived therefrom are useful as transportation fuels, lubricants, refinery intermediates, or refinery feeds.

25. A method for reducing heteroatom content of a hydrocarbon feed comprising the steps of:
-
contacting an oxidized heteroatom containing hydrocarbon feed with a caustic treatment solution; producing from said contacting step, a hydrocarbon phase having a hydrocarbon product and at least one of a sulfite salt and a sulfate salt, and an aqueous phase; separating the hydrocarbon phase from the aqueous phase; mixing the hydrocarbon phase with an aqueous wash feed, wherein the aqueous wash feed is a solution of sodium hydrogen sulfate dissolved in water, producing a washed hydrocarbon phase and an aqueous wash phase; and extracting the washed hydrocarbon phase from the aqueous wash phase. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
