[Continued on next page] = (54) Title: SUPERCRITICAL WATER UPGRADING PROCESS TO PRODUCE HIGH GRADE COKE (57) : Embodiments of a process for producing high grade coke from crude oil residue include at least partially separating, in a solvent extraction unit, the crude oil residue into a deasphalted oil (DAO)-containing stream and an asphaltene contain- ing-stream, producing a pressurized, heated DAO-containing stream, where the pressurized, heated DAO-containing stream, mixing a supercritical water stream with the pressurized, heated DAO-containing stream to create a combined feed stream, introducing the combined feed stream to an upgrading reactor system operating at supercritical temperature and pressure to yield one or more up - grading reactor output streams comprising upgraded product and a slurry mixture, where the slurry mixture comprises sulfur and one or more additional metals. The process also may include calcining the slurry mixture at a temperature of from 700°C to 1900°C to produce a product stream comprising the high grade coke. 1111111111111101110101011111010111110 010110111111010111111111111111111110111111 W O 20 17 / 106 146 Al WO 2017/106146 Al 1#110HOMOIDEIRMEM30101110110101EMOVOIMIE (84) Designated States (unless otherwise indicated, for every Declarations under Rule 4.17: kind of regional protection available): ARIPO (BW, GH, as to applicant's entitlement to apply for and be granted GM, KE, LR, LS, MW, MZ, NA, RW, SD, SL, ST, SZ, a patent (Rule 4.17(ii)) TZ, UG, ZM, ZW), Eurasian (AM, AZ, BY, KG, KZ, RU, TJ, TM), European (AL, AT, BE, BG, CH, CY, CZ, DE, as to the applicant's entitlement to claim the priority of DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, HR, HU, IE, IS, IT, LT, the earlier application (Rule 4.17(iii)) LU, LV, MC, MK, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, RS, SE, Published: SI, SK, SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG). — with international search report (Art. 21(3))
