The invention discloses a
shale oil processing method, comprising the steps of: segmenting
shale oil into light components and heavy components, leading the heavy components and
hydrogen to pass through an up-flow type hydrogenation reactor, leading an
effluent and the light components as well as
hydrogen to pass through a conventional hydrorefining reactor for reaction, and separating and distilling a hydrorefined
effluent to obtain a light product. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the
shale oil is firstly segmented into the light components and the heavy components so as to make
metal, colloids and other easily precipitated impurities in the shale oil enter the heavy components, and then the characteristic of the up-flow type reactor is utilized to uniformly precipitate the colloids, the
metal and other pollutants in a catalyst
bed, so that the excessive increase of the pressure drop in the catalyst
bed is effectively slowed down; a
material flow in which most of impurities are removed is subjected to the conventional hydrorefining, on the one hand,
sulfur,
nitrogen and other impurities in the shale
oil can be removed, on the other hand, the
operating cycle of the hydrorefining catalyst can be prolonged, and thus, an ideal
processing effect is achieved.
