The combined extractive and oxidative desulfurization approach based on ultrasound (US) and ultraviolet (UV) irradiations with additives was investigated for treatment of simulated fuel comprising of thiophene as model sulfur component and toluene as…
Oxidative desulfurization of model oil and heavy fuel oil (HFO) was investigated under mild conditions using H2O2 as an oxidant and acetonitrile as an extractant. The influence factors in the oxidation and extraction processes were evaluated and…
The desulfurization of four petroleum distillates i.e. kerosene, light gas oil (LGO), heavy gas oil (HGO) and light cycle oil (LCO), with sulfur content 0.206–1.272% w/w, was carried out using the hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid oxidative system, in…
According to a report by the International Energy Agency, although global energy demand has grown gradually in the past, it is still envisaged to increase by 30% between the present and 2040, as oil demand continues to grow further by 2040, mainly…
