Best Answer

The decomposition of disulfide oil involves the oxidization of mercaptans into disulfides. The disulfides then separate from the extract as an oily layer.

No


Can disulfide oil be mixed with fuel oil?

Mixing disulfide oil with fuel oil without further sulfur treating is potentially undesireable as combustion leads to the production of sulfur-containing pollutants. Disulfide oils are generally produced as byproducts of gas sweetening--a process where sulfur is removed from liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Separating disulfide oil into hydrocarbons (oil) and sulfur (disulfide) requires hydrotreating. After hydrotreating, the hydrocarbons can be blended with other fuel oils.


What is the structure formula of disulfide oil?

Disulfide oil is composed of two hdrocarbon molecules tied together by two sulfur atoms. The general formula is RSSRWhere R is any hydrocarbon, and includes the appropriate number of hydrogens to complete the hydrocarbon.
