Abstract

Sour petroleum naphtha is sweetened by contacting it at 40-200 DEG F. in the presence of free oxygen with sufficient of the aqueous solution specified below to form a distinct aqueous phase, then separating the sweet naphtha from the aqueous phase. The aqueous solution used comprises at least 5 per cent by weight of free alkali metal hydroxide, an alkyl phenol, a water-soluble alkylene polyamine wherein each alkylene group has 2-4 C atoms, the alkyl phenol and polyamine being present in amounts sufficient to increase the solubility of the mercaptans, and a mercaptan oxidation catalyst consisting of the complex formed by reacting a water-soluble copper salt with an alkylene polyamine wherein the alkylene group is ethylene or propylene. The free oxygen may be introduced as air, oxygen, or in the form of a compound such as hydrogen peroxide which furnishes free oxygen. The free alkali metal hydroxide is preferably present in a concentration of 10-15 per cent by weight. The preferred alkyl phenols are cresol, xylenol, ethyl phenol or nonyl phenol used in concentrations of 10-20 per cent by volume of the aqueous solution. The preferred polyamines are ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, tetraethylene pentamine, propylene diamine, dipropylene triamine, tripropylene tetramine, tetrapropylene pentamine, butylene diamine and dibutylene triamine, used in concentrations of 3-8 per cent by volume of the aqueous solution. The water-soluble copper salt may be organic, but is preferably cupric sulphate, and the amount of copper salt complex present is 0.1-0.3 per cent by weight as copper.
