UN PROCEDIMIENTO PARA ENDULZAR UNA FRACCION HIDROCARBONADA AGRIA.

摘要

A process for sweetening a sour hydrocarbon fraction containing mercaptan which comprises reacting mercaptans contained in the hydrocarbon fraction with an oxidizing agent by passing the hydrocarbon fraction and the oxidizing agent into contact with a bed of metal chelate mercaptan oxidation catalyst and a solid carrier material having an average particle size of less than about 110 mesh.
