The Effect of Ultrasound on Oxidation Desulfurization of Diesel

Abstract:

Oxidation desulfurization, particularly to the deep oxidation desulfurization, is one of the most effective routs to meet the environmental requirements prior to the application of diesel. In this article, the author developed an improved way of oxidation desulfurization for diesel by the aid of ultrasound, which opens up a new technology. As the experiment results show that in comparison with traditional oxidation desulfurization, ultrasound-aided oxidation desulfurization for diesel achieves better desulfurization result, along with the reduction of oxidant-oil ratio, reaction temperature and time. In sum, it has proved ultrasound-aided oxidation desulfurization being a facile and significant way with a bright prospect for upgrading diesel.
