Abstract

A method for desulfurizing crude oil and sulfur rich petroleum refinery fractions is disclosed. The method includes feeding the crude oil and sulfur rich petroleum refinery fractions to a reactor. An oxidation catalyst is added to the crude oil and sulfur rich petroleum refinery fractions. The crude oil and sulfur rich petroleum refinery fractions and the oxidation catalyst are stirred to form co-polymers of sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. The co-polymers of sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds are separated by filtration or by centrifugation.
