18 Claims. c1. 196-29 This invention relates to the oxidation of mercaptans 'and more particularly to etfecting this reaction in the presence ofa particular class of compounds.
' As is well-known, mercaptans are contained in various hydrocarbon fractions, including liquid fractions such as gasoline,kerosene, gas oil, diesel oil, heater oil, range oil, etc., as well as being contained in normally gaseous hydrocarbon fractions. The presence of mercaptans is objectionable in these fractions for a number of reasons, including undesirable odor, corrosiveness, etc.
In one embodiment the present invention relates to a method of oxidizing a mercaptan to a disulfide which comprises reacting the mercaptan with an oxidizing agent in the presence of'an organo-metalliccompound.
In a specific embodiment the present invention relates to a method of oxidizing a mercaptan contained in gasoline which comprises reacting said mercaptan with oxygen in the presence of a basic reagent and an organo-metallic compound. 7
As hereinbefore set forth the mercaptans generally will be contained in a hydrocarbon fraction and usually will be present in asmall concentration.- --When the original mercaptan content of the hydrocarbon fraction is substantial, it generally is preferred to. treat the hydrocarbon fraction-by means of a suitable alkaline material, including'sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc., with or without a solutizer, includingphenols, cresols, xylenols, isobutyric acid and salts thereof, alcohols and particularly methanol, etc., in order to remove a major proportion of the mercaptans. However, it generally is diflicult to remove thefinal traces of mercaptans; and the present-in- United States Patentbf vention is of particular advantage to convert the. remain- I ingmercaptans into disulfides and therebyto produce'a sweethydrocarbon fraction. v
Air or'other suitable source of oxygen is present in order't'o eflfect oxidation of the mercaptans to disulfides. In some cases air dissolved or entrained in the hydrocarbon fraction will be suflicient to effect the'desired oxidation. In other cases it may be preferred to introduce air from an extraneous source, particularly when the distillate'is'storedin-tanks having floating roofs which serve to exclude air. While air'is preferred, it is understood that other suitable oxidizing agents may be employed including oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc.
' The oxidation of mercaptans is generally facilitated by the presence of a basic reagent and, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the oxidation is eifected in the presence of a. basic reagent. Any suitable basic reagent may be employed. The basic reagent may be inorganicand include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc., or these reagents containing a solutizer as hereinbefore setforth. In some cases the pretreatment of the hydrocarbon fraction with the basic reagent will leave a small amount of basic reagent entrained in the gasoline, and the small amount may be suflicient for the present purpose. In addition to or in the place of the inorganicj bas'ic reagents, suitable organicv basic reagents may be employed including,"for example, heterocyclic 2,744,854 Patented; May 8, 1956 "ice.
