| Abstract: | The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a novel catalyst useful for sweetening of sour petroleum distillates. Process steps are:mixing metal phthalocyanine characterised in that with a halogenating agent such as herein described in a stoichiometric ratio ranging between 1:1 to 1:20 optionally in an inert organic solvent such as herein described, refluxing or heating and stirring for a time period ranging between 1-6 hrs, distilling the excess halogenating agent from the mixture, filtering and washing the residual mass by known method to obtain the desired halogenated metal phthalocyanine catalyst. | ||
| Licensing Option: | Laboratory scale know-how is available. | ||
