Abstract
A process for sulfurizing a composition of unsaturated fatty ester is described in which said composition is reacted with elemental sulfur in the presence of a promoter that consists of at least one compound with an amine group and in the presence of water. When the sulfur-containing product is separated from an aqueous phase that contains the compound with an amine group, the latter can be reused for several successive sulfurations without substantial loss of activity of the promoter. The compositions of unsaturated fatty esters can be used as additives for lubricating oils or fats.
