Hi, please explain for me why mercaptans almost absent in crude oil. I think that crude oil contains rarely olefins. Because gas, naphtha, and kerosene which straight-run from crude distillation tower always be treated mercaptans.

Agree with you. It should be olefins because olefins are very easy to transform to oxidation compounds.
