ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for reducing the nitrogen content of shale oil by selectivity removing therefrom nitrogen-containing compounds. The nitrogen content of shale oil is reduced by contacting the shale oil with a sufficient amount of a solvent which is selective toward the nitrogen-containing compounds present in the shale oil. The solvent is a mixture comprised of an organic acid and a mineral acid. The organic acid is selected from the group consisting of organic acids, and substituted organic acids, particularly acetic, formic and trichloroacetic acids and mixtures thereof; the mineral acid is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, nitrous acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, phosphoric acid and mixtures thereof.
