Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalyts doped with iron metal at different metal loadings were successfully prepared and characterized. The doped photocatalyst were characterized using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DR-UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).Photooxidative extractive desulfurization of model oil containing dibenzothiophene as the sulfur compound (100ppm) was investigated using the prepared photocatalyst. The photocatalyst with 0.20 wt% Fe metal loading showed the best sulfur removal at 61.13%.
