Mercaptan removal from petroleum streams (Law950)

This invention relates to the removal of thiols (mercaptans) from petroleum streams. Specifically, mercaptans of the five-carbon molecular weight range and above can be removed from petroleum streams. Removal of light thiols (less than C molecular weight), an enhancement to base assisted extractive...

Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to the removal of thiols (mercaptans) from petroleum streams. Specifically, mercaptans of the five-carbon molecular weight range and above can be removed from petroleum streams. Removal of light thiols (less than C molecular weight), an enhancement to base assisted extractive processes such as extractive Merox®, may also be improved. This invention relates to reducing the amount of thiols (mercaptans) in petroleum streams, specifically, mercaptans above the five carbon molecular weight range.
