Method of treating a sour petroleum distillate

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5917407

A method is disclosed for treating a mercaptan-containing sour petroleum distillate. The process comprises contacting said distillate at oxidation conditions with a mercaptan oxidation catalyst, such as a metal phthalocyanine disposed on a carrier, in the presence of a substituted ammonium compound, such as a benzyldimethylalkylammonium hydroxide, and a linear ionic compound, the latter preferably comprising a saturated compound having from about 9 to about 24 carbon atoms.
