Elemental sulfur present in fluids such as refined petroleum products, e.g., gasoline, jet, diesel, kerosene or fuel additives such as ethers , is removed from such fluids by contacting the contaminated fluid with an adsorbent of Mg2AlNO3 or Mg3AlNO3 or by adding to the fluids a quantity of hydrocarbyl mercaptan and passing the resulting mixture through an adsorbent selected from the group consisting of alumina, bayerite, brucite and hydrotalcite like materials of the formula M x 2+ M y 3+ (OH)2x+3y-z (NO3) mH2O wherein M2+ is Magnesium, M3+ is aluminum, and x, y and z are values from 1 to 6 and m is the number of waters of hydration. |
