The results of the use of surface-active substances (surfactants) in the process of oxidative demercaptanization of hydrocarbon raw materials are presented. It is shown that the use of surfactants increases the efficiency of the demercaptanization process and makes it possible to extract from processed hydrocarbons not only the simplest, but also higher molecular weight mercaptans, as well as organosulfur compounds of other classes.
