A number of reviews related to the identification of sulfur compounds in petroleum should be mentioned. Dean and Whitehead (30) summarized work on separation and identification of sulfur compounds in petroleum and shale oil in 1967. Drushel (7) reviewed sulfur compound types with an emphasis on the available analytical methods as of 1970. Mehmet (31) and Gal pern (32) also reviewed sulfur compounds in petroleum in 1971 with some speculation on their origin. The major contributions of API Project 48 reported by Coleman et al. in 1971, Rail et al. in 1972, and Thompson in 1981 will be discussed below (33-35) More recent summaries of sulfur compounds by Aksenov and Kamyanov in 1981 (36) and by Gal pern in 1985 (37), discuss OSC in petroleum, processed petroleum fractions, shale oil, coal derived liquids and related products. These reviews include much of the Soviet literature. In 1975 and 1978 Orr (28-291 discussed sulfur in the petroleum system with somewhat...
