Abstract
A process for preparing a hydrocarbon in water emulsion includes the steps of: providing a hydrocarbon phase containing a contaminant selected from the group consisting of vanadium, sulfur, and mixtures thereof; mixing a solid additive with the hydrocarbon phase, the solid additive being selected from the group consisting of calcium compounds, magnesium compounds and mixtures thereof so as to provide a hydrocarbon suspension including the solid additive; and forming an emulsion from the hydrocarbon suspension and an aqueous phase including a surfactant so as to form a combustible hydrocarbon in water emulsion having the solid additive suspended in the hydrocarbon phase.
