Abstract: AN INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR THE DESULFURIZATION OF CRUDE OIL OR SIMILAR VIRGIN HYDROCARBON FRACTIONS WHEREIN A DISPERSION OF METALLIC SODIUM IS EMPLOYED TO REACT WITH THE SULFUR CONTAMINANTS PRESENT WITHIN SUCH CRUDE OIL TO FORM A SODIUM SULFIDE PRECIPITATE ELIMINATED FROM THE TREATED CRUDE THROUGH CENTRIFUGATION. THE INTEGRATED SYSTEM IS PROVIDED BY REACTING THE SODIUM SULFIDE PREDIPITATE WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID TO PRODUCE SODIUM CHLORIDE WHICH AFTER RECLAMATION CAN BE EMPLOYED THROUGH ELECTROLYSIS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY SODIUM FOR DESULFURIZATION OF THE CRUDE OIL.
