Catalytic oxidative demercaptanization of fuel oil produced from gas condensate

Abstract

The results of studying the nonextractive oxidative demercaptanization of fuel oil derived from gascondensate in the presence of metal complex catalysts are presented in this work. The effect of the ratio of gaseous (air) and liquid (fuel oil) phases, catalyst concentration, time of contact, process temperature, and amount of total mercaptans on the degree of conversion of low molecular weight sulfur admixtures and quality of commercial products was evaluated.
