- Summary
- In order to better understand the nature of coal and its behavior in oxydesulfurization, various organic sulfur compounds were exposed to the conditions (150/sup 0/C, 200 psi O/sub 2/, 0.2 M aqueous Na/sub 2/CO/sub 3/, 1 hour) of the Ames oxydesulfurization process. Little or no reaction occurred, so it was concluded that most, if not all, organosulfur compounds are unreactive at these conditions. In organic solvents containing alkyl hydroperoxides, organic sulfides could be oxidized to sulfones. Molybdenum carbonyl (Mo(CO)/sub 6/) acts as a catalyst in organic solvents but does not do so under aqueous conitions. Studies of the desulfonation reaction have been less successful so far. (LTN)
