Question: ( d ) The sulphur content from the light naphtha ( LN ) product stream of an atmospheric distillation unit that processes Assam crude oil
d The sulphur content from the light naphtha LN product stream of an atmospheric distillation unit that processes Assam crude oil is entirely in the form of thiols R
i Write the general chemical equation that performs hydrodesulphurisation of thiols, and determine the stoichiometric number of moles of hydrogen gas demand per mole of thiol compound.
mark
ii The thiol compounds that are present in the LN are methanethiol, ethanethiol, and propanethiol, rewrite the HDS equation for these three compounds.
mark
iii Using the data below, determine the mass of sulphur in use significant figures sf contained in barrels of the LN
mark
iv Determine the number of moles of hydrogen gas sf required to hydrodesulphurise individually the methanethiol, the ethanethiol and the propanethiol, for barrels of LN using the elemental sulphur mass distribution in the LN given below:
Methanethiol
Ethanethiol
Propane thiol wt
