Carlson, D H.J.

A method for treating a sour petroleum distillate is disclosed. The distillate is treated in contact with a catalyst in the presence of an alkaline reagent at oxidation conditions, said catalyst having been prepared by forming an aqueous dispersion of a metal phthalocyanine comprising a soluble acid amide, contacting a solid adsorptive support with said dispersion at conditions to adsorb at least a catalytic amount of said metal phthalocyanine thereon. The resulting composite is subsequently dried.
