Abstract
This study reports on the synthesis, characterization, and application of two acidic ionic liquids, namely, N-carboxymethylpyridinium acetate ([HO2CCH2Py][CH3CO2] or AIL1) and N-carboxyethylpyridinium acetate ([HO2C(CH2)2Py][CH3CO2] or AIL2), as both extractants and catalysts for the oxidative and extractive desulfurization (OEDS) of model fuel oils containing heteroaromatic sulfur compounds. The structural properties of the synthesized acidic ionic liquids (ILs) were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopic analysis. To optimize the performance of the acidic AILs in the desulfurization process, the effects of different parameters, such as H2O2 dosage, reaction time, and temperatures, were investigated. The experimental results showed that AIL1 has exceptionally high desulfurization-extraction rates, with values of 99.8%, 97.8%, and 95.4%, for DBT, BT, and 4,6-DMDBT, respectively, under the optimum conditions established. Under the same conditions, the desulfurization-extraction rates using AIL2 reached 91.6%, 87.3%, and 82.4%, respectively, for DBT, 4, 6-DMDBT, and BT. Both ionic liquids can be recycled up to 9 times without a significant decrease in their sulfur removal efficiencies. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to evaluate the electronic interaction energies (ΔIE) between the AILs with each of the sulfur-containing compounds and their putative oxidized products. The computational findings strongly supported the experimental outcomes.

Abstract
The removal of sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds present in petroleum fractions is necessary to meet the stringent environmental regulations and to prevent the environment and humanity from the threats they pose. Conventional hydro-desulfurization and hydro-denitrogenation processes have evolved significantly over the past decade but are limited due to severe operating conditions and inefficiency in removing nitrogen-containing compounds. On the contrary, unconventional non-hydrogen methods for refining of crude oils are beneficial in terms of mild operating conditions and are efficient for eradicating both sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds. Despite being efficient for both sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds, these techniques suffer due to the hindrance posed by the competitive nature of nitrogen-containing compounds. Thus, it is recommended to develop techniques that can remove both the compounds simultaneously and efficiently. Techniques for simultaneous removal of those compounds can also be expected to reduce the number of unit operations required during refining and can be energy-efficient as well. This elaborative review summarizes the developments done in this field in the past two decades. To improve the understanding of the scientific community towards the feasibility of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrogenation processes, the crucial parameters for efficient desulfurization-denitrogenation processes are also discussed. This review can be expected to encourage the scientific community to search for more economical, energy-efficient, and commercializable pathways for desulfurization-denitrogenation of petroleum oil.

Abstract
In this paper, the current advantages and disadvantages of using metal-containing nanocatalysts (NCs) for deep chemical oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of liquid fuels are reviewed. A similar analysis is performed for the oxidative biodesulfurization of oil along the 4S-pathway, catalyzed by various aerobic bacterial cells of microorganisms. The preferences of using NCs for the oxidation of organic sulfur-containing compounds in various oil fractions seem obvious. The text discusses the development of new chemical and biocatalytic approaches to ODS, including the use of both heterogeneous NCs and anaerobic microbial biocatalysts that catalyze the reduction of chemically oxidized sulfur-containing compounds in the framework of methanogenesis. The addition of anaerobic biocatalytic stages to the ODS of liquid fuel based on NCs leads to the emergence of hybrid technologies that improve both the environmental characteristics and the economic efficiency of the overall process. The bioconversion of sulfur-containing extracts from fuels with accompanying hydrocarbon residues into biogas containing valuable components for the implementation of C-1 green chemistry processes, such as CH4, CO2, or H2, looks attractive for the implementation of such a hybrid process.

Abstract
In this study, NiFe2O4–PEG, an effective nanocatalyst was synthesized via a hydrothermal method using different PEG concentrations and synthesis times. The synthesized nanocatalyst was used in the ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAOD) of model fuels (e.g. n-hexane and dibenzothiophene (DBT)) for the first time. The nanocatalyst was then characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM, VSM and TEM analyses. In addition, central composite design was used to evaluate the effective variables on the UAOD process. The optimal values of effective factors such as catalyst dose, oxidant amount, irradiation time and ultrasonic power to maximize of the percentage of sulfur removal were 0.149 g, 15 mL, 11.96 min, and 70 MHz, respectively. Moreover, the kinetic aspects of the oxidation reaction of DBT in the UAOD process were investigated using a pseudo-first-order model. Furthermore, using the Arrhenius equation, an activation energy of 35.86 kJ mol−1 was obtained. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis showed that the oxidation reaction of DBT was endothermic with a positive Gibbs free of energy, indicating the non-spontaneity of oxidation of DBT in the UAOD process. Moreover, the conversion rate of DBT has increased from 57% at 35 °C to 85% at 65 °C. In this study, NiFe2O4–PEG, an effective nanocatalyst was synthesized via a hydrothermal method using different PEG concentrations and synthesis times.![]()

Abstract
The oxidative desulfurization of five (5) model sulfur compounds and eleven (11) surrogate blends was investigated using the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-acetic acid (CH3COOH) system. Consequently, extractive desulfurization was carried out using conventional solvents. The model sulfur compounds, as well as the solvent, are present in petroleum middle distillates. The selection of the compounds was made so that they represent various kinds of sulfur compounds. The goal of this study was the implementation of a simple and economical oxidative and extractive system for the desulfurization of surrogate mixtures with an intermediate sulfur concentration 1% w/w, at the mild temperature of 70°C, and without the use of supplementary and assisting methods such as heterogeneous catalysis or ultrasound irradiation. The sulfur content was estimated using X-ray fluorescence. The progress of the oxidation reaction was monitored using liquid FT-IR. The solid sediments of the oxidation procedure were identified with solid-state FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Strict environmental laws have been put in place around the world to reduce the amount of sulfur in the fuel to reduce the emissions of harmful gases from fuel combustion and improve air quality. Therefore, extensive researches have been undertaken to devise effective processes or to improve the desulfurization processes. Among the desulfurization processes, the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process is a promising method to achieve very low and near-zero sulfur content of the fuel. In this process, sulfur compounds are converted to the corresponding sulfone by a catalyst and in the presence of an oxidant. The obtained compounds by polar solvents or adsorbents are removed from the fuel. In recent decades, extensive studies have been carried out on the catalysts used in the oxidative desulfurization process. In this review, a comprehensive survey has been performed on heterogeneous catalysts used in the oxidative desulfurization process. According to the reported researches, the heterogeneous catalysts used can be divided into five groups: ionic liquids, carbon materials, polyoxometalates, transition metal oxides stabilized on porous solid substrates, and metal-organic frameworks. The proposed mechanisms with different catalysts have also been studied in this work.

Abstract
A promising approach of ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAOD) was studied for deep desulfurization of simulated sulphated turpentine containing dimethyl disulphide (DMDS) as model pollutant. The effect of ultrasound parameters such as power (80-120 W) and duty cycle (50-80%) as well as operating conditions as initial concentration (50-100 ppm), volume (100-300 ml) and temperature (28 °C as ambient condition, 50-70 °C) on the extent of desulfurization have been studied. The effect of addition of various oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide over the range of 3-18 g/L, Fenton reagent by varying FeSO4 loading from 0.75 g/L to 1.75 g/L at constant H2O2 loading and titanium dioxide (loading over the range 1-4 g/L) in the presence of ultrasonic horn have also been investigated at laboratory scale. The addition of oxidizing agents in presence of ultrasound enhanced the extent of DMDS removal. The extent of desulfurization was found to be remarkably low for individual approaches as compared to combination approaches of US/oxidizing agents. The kinetic analysis revealed that oxidation follows first order kinetics. A significant increase in cavitational yield was observed for combination approach of US/H2O2/TiO2 (5.78 × 10-9 g/L) compared to individual ultrasound approach (2.04 × 10-9 g/L). Under best conditions of 120 W power, 70% duty cycle, 50 ppm initial concentration, 15 g/L H2O2 loading and 4 g/L TiO2 loading, 100% desulfurization was obtained at 23.19 Rs/L as the treatment cost. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that US/H2O2/TiO2 approach is highly efficient desulfurization technique for deep desulfurization of simulated sulphated turpentine.

Abstract
Abstract
Environmental concerns have given a great deal of attention for the production of ultra-low-sulfur fuels. The conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process has high operating cost and also encounters difficulty in removing sulfur compound with steric hindrance. Consequently, various research efforts have been made to overcome the limitation of conventional HDS process and exploring the alternative technologies for deep desulfurization. The alternative processes being explored for the production of ultra-low-sulfur content fuel are adsorptive desulfurization (ADS), biodesulfurization (BDS), oxidative desulfurization (ODS), and extractive desulfurization (EDS). The present article provided the comprehensive information on the basic principle, reaction mechanism, workability, advantages, and disadvantages of conventional and alternative technologies. This review article aims to provide valuable insight into the recent advances made in conventional HDS process and alternative techniques. For deep desulfurization of liquid fuels, integration of conventional HDS with an alternative technique is also proposed.

Abstract
Palygorskite (Pal)-supported α-MnO2 nanosheets (Ns-MnPal) combine the adsorption features of Pal with the catalytic properties of α-MnO2 nanosheets. They were prepared and examined in the catalytic oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from a model oil employing 30 wt% H2O2 as the oxidant under mild conditions. The supported catalyst was fabricated by the solvothermal method, and effective immobilization of α-MnO2 nanosheets was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N2 adsorption. The influence of various solvents, solvent volume, reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst amount and H2O2/sulfur molar ratio on ODS was investigated. Using 20 mL of acetonitrile as a solvent, maximum sulfur removal of 97.7% was achieved for ODS of DBT in 1.5 h using a Ns-MnPal/oil ratio of 0.2 g L−1, reaction temperature of 50 °C and H2O2/sulfur molar ratio of 4. As solid catalysts, supported α-MnO2 nanosheets could be separated from the reaction readily. The catalyst was recycled seven times and showed no significant loss in activity. Palygorskite (Pal)-supported α-MnO2 nanosheets (Ns-MnPal) combine the adsorption features of Pal with the catalytic properties of α-MnO2 nanosheets.![]()

Abstract
Nowadays, a continuously worldwide concern for development of process to produce ultra-low sulfur and nitrogen fuels have been emerged. Typical hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation technology deals with important difficulties such as high pressure and temperature operating condition, failure to treat some recalcitrant compounds and limitations to meet the stringent environmental regulations. In contrary an advanced oxidation process that is ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization and denitrogenation satisfies latest environmental regulations in much milder conditions with more efficiency. The present work deals with a comprehensive review on findings and development in the ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization and denitrogenation (UAOD) during the last decades. The role of individual parameters namely temperature, residence time, ultrasound power and frequency, pH, initial concentration and types of sulfur and nitrogen compounds on the efficiency are described. What's more another treatment properties that is role of phase transfer agent (PTA) and solvents of extraction step, reaction kinetics, mechanism of the ultrasound, fuel properties and recovery in UAOD are reviewed. Finally, the required future works to mature this technology are suggested.

Deep oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene in simulated oil and real diesel using heteropolyanion-substituted hydrotalcite-like compounds as catalysts. Molecules 2013; 18:13691-704. [PMID: 24284486 PMCID: PMC6269882 DOI: 10.3390/molecules181113691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2013] [Revised: 10/29/2013] [Accepted: 10/31/2013] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Three heteropolyanion substituted hydrotalcite-like compounds (HPA-HTLcs) including Mg9Al3(OH)24[PW12O40](MgAl-PW12), Mg9Al3(OH)24[PMo12O40] (MgAl-PMo12) and Mg12Al4(OH)32[SiW12O40] (MgAl-SiW12), were synthesized, characterized and used as catalysts for the oxidative desulfurization of simulated oil (dibenzothiophene, DBT, in n-octane). MgAl-PMo12 was identified as an effective catalyst for the oxidative removal of DBT under very mild conditions of atmospheric pressure and 60 °C in a biphasic system using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and acetonitrile as extractant. The conversion of DBT was nearly 100%. As a result, because of the influence of the electron density and the space steric hindrance, the oxidation reactivity of the different sulfur compounds in simulated oil followed the order DBT > 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) > benzothiophene (BT) > thiophene (TH). When the reaction is finished, the catalysts can be recovered from the acetonitrile phase by filtration. The recovered MgAl-PMo12 retains nearly the same catalytic activity as the fresh material. Moreover, MgAl-PMo12 was found to exhibit an ideal catalytic activity in the oxidative desulfurization of real diesel resulting in a total remaining sulfur content of 9.12 ppm(w).
