Mercaptans in kerosene (jet fuel) and other refinery products lead to corrosion, odor, and other issues. These mercaptans are made harmless by oxidative conversion into disulfides. This ‘sweetening’ process requires a metal complex catalyst supported on activated carbon

DARCO® MRX is made specifically for the hydrocarbon sweetening process, where it has become the industry standard. DARCO MRX has a very high meso-porosity allowing a high take-up of catalytic salts and fast kinetics of the catalytic conversion.
