Processes of reducing the inorganic sulfur-containing acid and the low equivalent weight organic sulfonic acid content of an acid mass comprising organic sulfonic components and inorganic sulfonating agent contaminants are described. In general, the process comprises the steps of

Sulfonic acid compositions having reduced sulfur-containing contaminants

Process for reducing sulfur-containing contaminants in sulfonated

Sulfurized compositions are prepared by the reaction, under superatmospheric pressure, of olefinic compounds with a mixture of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide, followed by removal of low boiling materials including unreacted olefin, mercaptan and monosulfide. An optional final step is removal of active sulfur; for example, by treatment with an alkali metal sulfide. The resulting sulfurized compositions are useful as lubricant additives.

Sulfurized compositions

Sulfurized compositions are prepared by the reaction of unsaturated compounds and a mixture of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide under superatmospheric pressure, followed by removal of low boiling materials. They are useful as lubricant additives.
