Deep Desulfurization of Diesel Fuel Oxidized with TBHP Coupled with Solvent Extraction Intensified by Ultrasound

Article Preview

Abstract:

Deep desulfurization of a hydrotreated diesel fuel was investigated with TBHP oxidation coupled with solvent extraction intensified by ultrasound. The process parameters for the oxidation desulfurization of diesel fuel, such as the type and dosage of catalyst, co-solvent, ultrasound time, molar ratio of TBHP and sulfur were investigated. The results showed that sulfur content of the hydrotreated diesel fuel was reduced from 140 ppm to 12 ppm with using 1%wt of sodium tungstate as catalyst, 20%wt of methanol as co-solvent during the reaction, reaction temperature at 90°C, ultrasound time for 15 min and TBHP/Sulfur molar ratio of 32, and ultrasound irradiation had the obvious reinforcement in oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel.
