Organic sulfur compounds oxidation

Organic sulfur compounds such as sulfurized spermaceti oil, terpene sulfides, and aromatic disulfides have been used. Encumbered phenols such as di-tertiary-butylphenols and amines of the phenyl-alphanaphthylamine type are effective stopping the kinetic oxidation chain by creating stable radicals. 

Isopropyl Alcohol. Propylene may be easily hydrolyzed to isopropyl alcohol. Eady commercial processes involved the use of sulfuric acid in an indirect process (100). The disadvantage was the need to reconcentrate the sulfuric acid after hydrolysis. Direct catalytic hydration of propylene to 2-propanol followed commercialization of the sulfuric acid process and eliniinated the need for acid reconcentration, thus reducing corrosion problems, energy use, and air pollution by SO2 and organic sulfur compounds. Gas-phase hydration takes place over supported oxides of tungsten at 540 K and 25... 

TRS Converter To measure hydrogen sulfide and reduced-organic sulfur compounds, the technique used is thermal oxidation, in which sulfur dioxide is produced. Hydrogen sulfide and other reduced-sulfur compounds are measured by using methods applicable to the measurement of sulfur dioxide concentrations. One method is a technique based on ultraviolet fluorescence.

Organic sulfur compounds are present in gasoline and diesel. With the increased emphasis on the requirement for more environmentally friendly transportation fuels [1], oxidative desulfurization, using H202 and redox-molecular sieves [2,5,6,7], has been studied and shown to significantly reduce the sulfur content of gasoline and diesel. The reaction of thiophene and its derivatives were successfully converted to oxidized compounds, but the identification of oxidized compounds was not simple because the concentrations of individual sulfur compounds were low. Most of the previous literature has reported sulfone formation. 

Carpenter-Evans A catalytic process for removing organic sulfur compounds from synthesis gas by hydrogenation to hydrogen sulfide, which is absorbed by iron oxide. The hydrogenation catalyst is nickel sub-sulfide, Ni3S2. Invented by E. V Evans and C. C. Carpenter in England around 1913 and operated in three commercial plants. 

Holmes-Maxted A process for removing organic sulfur compounds from coal gas. The gas, mixed with hydrogen, is passed over a metal thiomolybdate catalyst at 300 to 380°C, which converts the sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide which is then absorbed by iron oxide. Developed by E. B. Maxted at W. C. Holmes Company, UK, based on an invention made in 1937. More than 50 units were in operation by 1985. 

LO-CAT A process for removing hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfur compounds from petroleum fractions by air oxidation in a cyclic catalytic process similar to the Stretford process. The aqueous solution contains iron, two proprietary chelating agents, a biocide, and a surfactant the formulation is known as ARI-310. The sulfur product is removed as a slurry. Developed in 1972 by Air Resources (now ARI Technologies) and first commercialized in 1976. Over 125 units were operating in 1996. An improved version, LO-CAT II, was announced in 1991. 

North Thames Gas Board A process for removing organic sulfur compounds from coal gas by catalytic oxidation over nickel sulfide at 380°C. The sulfur dioxide produced is removed by scrubbing with dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide. Operated by the gasworks of the North Thames Gas Board, London, between 1937 and 1953. 

Stretford A process for removing hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfur compounds from coal gas and general refinery streams by air oxidation to elementary sulfur, using a cyclic process involving an aqueous solution of a vanadium catalyst and anthraquinone disulfonic acid. Developed in the late 1950s by the North West Gas Board (later British Gas) and the Clayton Aniline Company, in Stretford, near Manchester. It is the principle process used today, with over 150 plants licensed in Western countries and at least 100 in China. 

A major product in the combustion of all organic sulfur compounds is sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide has a well-known inhibiting effect on hydrocarbon and hydrogen oxidation and, indeed, is responsible for a self-inhibition in the oxidation of organic sulfur compounds. This inhibition most likely arises from its role in the removal of H atoms by the termolecular reaction...

As discussed in Chapter 2 and in more detail in Chapter 11, a variety of organic sulfur compounds in addition to inorganics such as H2S and COS are emitted by biological sources. In the troposphere, they may ultimately be oxidized to S02 and H2S04. However, the chemistry of these compounds tends to be complex, and a variety of partially oxidized sulfur compounds is formed first. 

Finally, there has been a great deal of interest in the halogen oxides IO, BrO, and CIO as potential oxidants for organic sulfur compounds such as dimethyl sulfide. We therefore also discuss the current status of these reactions.
