Key words: : extraction, supercritical CO2, oil, heavy oil residues

The method for purification of oils and  their heavy residues from asphaltenes and metals based on different  solubilities of the main constituents of oil and its undesirable components in  supercritical fluids (CO2). Effects of temperature, pressure and oil  dilution with carbon dioxide, as well as tar dilution with light hydrocarbons  and CO2 onto asphaltenes and metals removal are  studied. The method provides with advanced purity of raw oil used further to  produce final products (gasoline, base oils).
