Abstract: A process for desulphurization of petroleum oil, comprising the step of diluting the feed oil with a suitable organic solvent prior to the desulphurization reaction, is disclosed. The organic solvent is selected from alkanes, alkenes, cyclic alkenes and alkynes, and particularly selected from n-hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, pentene, hexene, heptene, octene, toluene and xylene. The solvent concentration in the mixture of feed oil and solvent is in the range of 0.1-70%.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for obtaining carbon black powder with a sulfur content of less than 0.07%. The process includes step of reacting carbon black powder with a sulfur content of 1-2% with an alkali metal or salt thereof, in a fluid media, at a temperature in the range of 100° C. to 350° C. and pressure in the range of 10 to 500 psig. It is found that in accordance with the process of the present disclosure, the sulfur content was reduced substantially from that of about 1.25% to that of 0.05%, resulting in about 96% desulfurization.

Abstract: Methods and compositions useful for reducing the amount of sulfur in a composition comprising sulfur, including methods and compositions comprising the use of an oxidation agent and a oxidation catalyst, wherein the oxidation catalyst can have the formula M11-xM3xM2O3.
