Abstract
Abstract LOW SULFUR-CONTENT PETROLEUM OIL STOCKS ARE PREPARED BY CONTACTING A SULFUR-CONTAINING OIL STOCK WITH AN ALKALI METAL, PREFERABLY SODIUM, OR ALKYLI METAL ALLOY, PREFERABLY SODIUM/LEAD, TO PRODUCE AN ALKALI SULFIDE-OIL DISPERSION. THE ALKALI SULFIDE IS REMOVED FROM THE OIL BY MEANS OF A TWO-STAGE WASHING TREATMENT. THE RECOVERED SULFIDE, AFTER ADDITIONAL TREATMENT, IS THEN ELECTROLYTICALLY DECOMPOSED THEREBY FERORMING ALKALI METAL FOR REUSE IN THE DESULFURIZATION PROCESS.
