Vocabulary
not welcome
What phrase would be more appropriate in this context?
Oil derivates have to undergo additional processes in order to be suitable for commercial use or in order to be used as raw materials for other technological processes. In oil derivates, the compunds of sulphurus, oxygen and nitrogen are not welcome because they cause corrosion and instabilty of the derivate itself.

'not welcome' is maybe not very technical though OK.
I would use 'not desirable'.
Also it's 'sulphur', not sulphurus
and 'instability'.

for me best as:
"In oil derivatives, the compunds of sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen are undesirable impurities because they cause corrosion and instabilty of the derivatives themselves."
'Not welcome' and 'should be avoided' suggest that it's possible to keep out these trace elements as impurities during the processing treatments but that's not so. It depends on the original sourc

As Ive said before a translation can be quite fascinating at times and it helps keep that grey matter working!
