FIELD: crude oil treatment.
SUBSTANCE: to remove hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans, 3-30% solution of urotropin in technical-grade formalin or in formalin/aqueous ammonia is added to crude material in amounts corresponding to 0.8-3.5 mole formaldehyde and 0.009-0.3 mole urotropin per 1 mole hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan sulfur. Reaction is carried out at 15 to 70°C. Method is applicable for oil and gas production and petroleum processing industries.
EFFECT: reduced consumption of reagents at high degree of purification of raw material.
