  • Process and apparatus for producing organic polysulfides
    Publication number: 20030105362
    Abstract: A filtering means containing gelatinous and solid materials is cleaned without dismantling the filtering means by contacting the gelatinous material inside the filtering means with a solvent, thereby physically degrading the gelatinous material such that the degraded gelatinous material can pass through the filtering means.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 9, 2002
    Publication date: June 5, 2003
    Applicant: Phillips Petroleum Company
    Inventor: Brooks D. Bennett

    Assignee: Phillips Petroleum Company
    Inventor: Brooks D. Bennett
  • Process for producing organic trisulfides
    Patent number: 6399832
    Abstract: Selectively producing organic trisulfides by contacting a mercaptan, a sulfur compound, and a catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce a reaction product comprising organic polysulfides, and subjecting the reaction product to trisulfide enhancing conditions which are effective to inhibit the formation of organic disulfides and promote the conversion of organic tetrasulfides to organic trisulfides.

  • Process for producing organic trisulfides
    Patent number: 6242652
    Abstract: Selectively producing organic trisulfides by contacting, in the presence of a catalyst, a mercaptan and a sulfur compound under conditions sufficient to produce a organic polysulfides and hydrogen sulfide and controlling the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the liquid reaction solution during specific reaction periods such that the production of organic trisulfide is enhanced and the production organic polysulfides having more or less than three sulfur atoms is inhibited.
