A FEW RECENT DESULFURIZATION ARTICLES


“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.” -- Douglas Adams (British comic Writer, 1952-2001)

As commercial as the Web has become, it’s remarkable that you can still find high quality articles for free.  Here are a few recent examples …

Researchers used room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as solvents to combine solvent extraction and chemical oxidation processes in one-pot operation for the desulfurization of fuel oil. In this solvent extraction and chemical oxidation desulfurization (SECOD), RTILs as media are immiscible with oil; sulfur compounds in oil are extracted into RTILs and oxidized thereafter to the corresponding sulfones by H2O2/TPA (tungstophosphoric acid).

It is difficult to remove refractory sulfur compounds such as benzothiophene (BT), dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its derivatives by means of conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process. Severe operating conditions including high temperature, high pressure, highly-active catalysts and high hydrogen consumption, are required to achieve deep desulfurization of gasoline. Alternative desulfurization processes, such as extractive desulfurization, selective adsorption desulfurization, biodesulfurization, and oxidative desulfurization, have been attracting the attention of a growing number of researchers.
