SOLID BASE CATALYST COMPOSITIONS USEFUL IN REMOVAL OF OXIDIZED SULFUR COMPOUNDS AND METHOD FOR MAKING SOLID BASE CATALYST COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The process provided herein is concerned with disposal of oxidized sulfur compounds formed by oxidative desulfurization. The process uses solid base catalyst in the presence of a caustic solution or solid base catalyst pretreated with a base and eliminates the need to separate the sulfones from the hydrocarbon streams and recover the hydrocarbons.
