Desulphurisation Of Kerosene

ABSTRACT This report aimed at determining  the presence and removal of mercaptan sulphur in kerosene using colour indicator method.  It is known that impurities such as free  sulphur,  sulphur dioxide, mercapters, funing materials etc. are found in petroleum products. Consequently,absorbents like molecular sieve, calcium oxide and even  activated carbon could  be  used  to trap these impurities, thereby making the  product impurity free.The afficac of  the absorption  using  calcium (Cao)  Ercammerer flask   was determined  by titration. Excess  Silver  Nitrate  is added to the sample ie effl…
