Catalysts for Mercaptan – Removal by the MEROX Method (Par-MO-Cat)
Application:
The mercaptan removal catalyst is used in the MEROX process (MEROX = MERCAPTAN OXIDATION) in oil and gas refineries in order to convert methyl and ethyl light mercaptan sulfur compounds into disulfide in liquid gas and kerosene compounds.
Product Introduction:
The primary washing of oil cutting is done using 2% soda. The extraction of light mercaptan (methylethyl) is done using a 30% soda solution along with a catalyst soluble in soda in the extraction tower. From the catalytic oxidation of heavy mercaptans in the vicinity of liquid catalyst and oxygen, sulfide dioxide is created.
Technical Specifications:
The catalyst used in these processes are metal-organic compounds called metal-phthalocyanines. Cobalt, ruthenium, etc. metals are used as active metals. In the company›s two-step method, it is first prepared from the dry mixing of raw materials urea, sodium orthophthalic acid, cobalt salt and two other components by Ball mill at high temperature and with metal-phthalocyanine intermediate. After preparation of the metal-phthalocyanine intermediate, the sulfonation step is carried out by oleum.
