Process for desulfurization of hydrocarbons

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5316192
In the process of desulfurizing a mixture of hydrocarbons and sulfur compounds of the type of carbonyl sulfide, the improvement consists of contacting the mixture with alkali alcoholate under conditions to form hydrogen sulfide thereby producing a treated hydrocarbon mixture free from carbonyl sulfide type sulfur compounds but containing hydrogen sulfide and further treating the treated mixture with aqueous alkali hydroxide to remove hydrogen sulfide.
