Many organosulfur compounds are available for pretreating catalysts. The
choice of a presulfiding agent should be guided by these factors:
Preference for ENVIRO-S
personnel to handle than many other sulfur compounds. No toxicity
presulfiding equipment and experience help insure a leak and odor-free
process. If a leak or spill occurs, ENVIRO-S
by typical activated sludge bacteria.
DMSO is a fully saturated, low-molecular weight, sulfur-containing
compound that begins to decompose at its boiling point of 372ºF. The
presence of oxygen in DMSO appears to have no adverse effect on catalyst
activity and is insignificant compared to that released from the catalyst.
Water that may be present to control the freezing point would be in the
vapor phase.
