Abstract
With increasingly stringent emission limits on sulfur and sulfur-containing substances, the reduction and removal of sulfur compounds from fuels has become an urgent task. Emissions of sulfur-containing compounds pose a significant threat to the environment and human health. Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted much attention in recent years as green solvents and functional materials, and their unique properties make them useful alternatives to conventional desulfurization organic solvents. This paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of traditional desulfurization technologies such as hydrodesulfurization, oxidative desulfurization, biological desulfurization, adsorptive desulfurization, extractive desulfurization, etc. It focuses on the synthesis of ionic liquids and their applications in oxidative desulfurization, extractive desulfurization, extractive oxidative desulfurization, and catalytic oxidative desulfurization, and it analyzes the problems of ionic liquids that need to be solved urgently in desulfurization, looking forward to the development of sulfuric compounds as a kind of new and emerging green solvent in the field of desulfurization.

Abstract
Ultrasonic-assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAOD) is utilized to lessen environmental problems due to sulfur emissions. The process uses immiscible polar solvents and ultrasonic waves to enhance desulfurization efficiency. Prior research focused on comparing the effectiveness of UAOD for gasoline using response surface methodology. This study evaluates the desulfurization efficiency and operating costs, including ultrasonic power, irradiation time, and oxidant amount to determine optimal conditions. The study used a multi-objective fuzzy optimization (MOFO) approach to evaluate the economic viability of UAOD for gasoline. It identified upper and lower boundaries and then optimized the desulfurization efficiency and operating costs while considering uncertainty errors. The fuzzy model employed max-min aggregation to optimize the degree of satisfaction on a scale from 0 (unsatisfied) to 1 (satisfied). Optimal conditions for gasoline UAOD were found at 445.43 W ultrasonic power, 4.74 min irradiation time, and 6.73 mL oxidant, resulting in a 66.79 % satisfaction level. This yielded a 78.64 % desulfurization efficiency (YA) at an operating cost of 13.49 USD/L. Compared to existing literature, gasoline desulfurization was less efficient and less costly. The solutions provided by MOFO demonstrate not only economic viability through decreased overall operating costs and simplified process conditions, but also offer valuable insights for optimizing prospective future industrial-scale UAOD processes.

Abstract
Dibenzothiophene (DBT), which belongs to the group of polycyclic aromatic heterocycles of sulfur, is a model substance to study the removal of sulfur compounds from oil due to its recalcitrance to traditional and specific removal processes. The aim of this work was to evaluate DBT bioremoval by environmental bacteria and its relationship with polyphosphate (polyP) accumulation, cell surface characteristics and bioemulsifying activity. Pseudomonas sp. P26 achieved the highest DBT removal percentage (48%) after 7 days of incubation. Moreover, positive correlations were estimated between DBT removal and bioemulsifying activity and biofilm formation. A strain-dependent relationship between the content of intracellular polyP and the presence of DBT in the culture medium was also demonstrated. The study of these bacterial characteristics, which could promote DBT transformation, is a first approach to select DBT-removing bacteria, in order to develop bioformulations that are able to contribute to desulfurization processes of petroleum-derived pollutants in the future.

Investigating catalytic oxidative desulfurization of model fuel using hollow PW 12/TiO 2@MgCO 3 and performance optimization via box-behnken design. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 339:139662. [PMID: 37499801 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
A facile and eco-friendly synthesis of PW12/TiO2@MgCO3 hollow tubes (PW12·∼· H3[PW12O40] = polyoxometalate) using a soluble and reusable MgCO3·3H2O micro-rods template was reported for the first time. The resultant hollow tubes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which indicated that the [PW12O40]3- structure remained intact within the hollow tubes. Furthermore, the specific surface area (88.982 m2/g) and average pore size (2.6 nm) of the PW12/TiO2@MgCO3 hollow tubes were calculated using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. This study explored the catalytic performance of PW12/TiO2@MgCO3 hollow tubes using a three-level Box-Behnken design (BBD), through which optimization curves were designed. The desulfurization of model fuel using hollow tubes was optimally performed when the catalyst dose, time, temperature, and oxidant/sulfur (O/S) were 20-80 gm, 80-120 min, 25-80 °C and 3-8 molar ratio, respectively. These results were further processed, and the experiments were replicated twenty-nine times using a model based on two quadratic polynomials to create a response surface methodology (RSM). This permits a mathematical correlation linking the desulfurization and experimental parameters. The optimal performance of reaction mixture was evaluated to be 80 mg for catalyst concentration, 25 °C of temperature, reaction time of 100 min, and 5.5 for oxidant/sulfur molar ratio from 20 mL of octane simulation oil containing 350 ppm dibenzothiophene (DBT). The predicted desulfurization rate of the model fuel under these optimal conditions was 95.3%. The correspondence between the experimental results and predicted values was verified based on regression analysis, with an R2 value greater than 0.99. These hollow tubes could be used for their desulfurization properties ten times a row without significantly reducing catalytic activity.

Abstract
Biodesulfurization is a promising alternative for removing sulfur molecules from the polycyclic aromatic sulfur compounds (PASC) found in petroleum. PASC consists of recalcitrant molecules that can degrade fuel quality and cause a range of health and environmental problems. Therefore, identifying bacteria capable of degrading PASC is essential for handling these recalcitrant molecules. Microorganisms in environments exposed to petroleum derivatives have evolved specific enzymatic machinery, such as the 4S pathway associated with the dszABC genes, which are directly linked to sulfur removal and utilization as nutrient sources in the biodesulfurization process. In this study, bacteria were isolated from a bioreactor containing landfarm soil that had been periodically fed with petroleum for 12 years, using a medium containing dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4.6-dimethylbenzothiophene, 4-methylbenzothiophene, or benzothiophene. This study aimed to identify microorganisms capable of degrading PASC in such environments. Among the 20 colonies isolated from an inoculum containing DBT as the sole sulfur source, only four isolates exhibited amplification of the dszA gene in the dszABC operon. The production of 2-hydroxybiphenyl (HPB) and a decrease in DBT were detected during the growth curve and resting cell assays. The isolates were identified using 16S rRNA sequencing belonging to the genera Stutzerimonas and Pseudomonas. These isolates demonstrated significant potential for biodesulfurization and/or degradation of PASC. All isolates possessed the potential to be utilized in the biotechnological processes of biodesulfurization and degradation of recalcitrant PASC molecules.

Abstract
Biodesulfurization (BDS) of fossil fuels is a promising method for treating the high content of sulfur in crude oils and their derivatives in the future, attributed to its environmental-friendly nature and the technical efficient ability to desulfurize the organosulfur compounds recalcitrant on other techniques. It was found that the bioreaction rate depends on the treated fluid, targeting sulfur compounds, and the microorganism applied. Also, many studies investigated the operation conditions, specificity, and biocatalysts modification to develop BDS efficiency. Furthermore, mathematical kinetics models were formulated to represent the process. In this review, the previous studies are analyzed and discussed. This review article is characterized by a clear picture of all BDS's experimental, industrial, procedural, theoretical, and hypothetical points.

Abstract
Environmental regulatory agencies have implemented stringent restrictions on the permissible levels of sulfur compounds in fuel to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality. Problematically, traditional desulfurization methods have shown low effectiveness in the removal of refractory sulfur compounds, e.g., thiophene (TS), dibenzothiophene (DBT), and 4-methyldibenzothiophene (MDBT). In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and free energy perturbation (FEP) have been applied to investigate the use of ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as efficient TS/DBT/MDBT extractants. For the IL simulations, the selected cation was 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [BMIM] and the anions included chloride [Cl], thiocyanate [SCN], tetrafluoroborate [BF4], hexafluorophosphate [PF6], and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [NTf2]. The DESs were composed of choline chloride with ethylene glycol (CCEtg) or with glycerol (CCGly). Calculation of excess chemical potentials predicted the ILs to be more promising extractants with energies lower by 1-3 kcal/mol compared to DESs. Increasing IL anion size was positively correlated to enhanced solvation of S-compounds, which was influenced by energetically dominant solute-anion interactions and favorable solute-[BMIM] π-π stacking. For the DESs, the solvent components offered a range of synergistic, yet comparatively weaker, electrostatic interactions that included hydrogen bonding and cation-π interactions. An in-depth analysis of the structure of IL and DES systems is presented, along with a discussion of the critical factors behind experimental trends of S-compound extraction efficiency.

Abstract
The N1,N1,N3,N3-tetramethyl -N1,N3-diphenylpropane-1,3-diaminium dichloride ionic liquid (ILc) is an environmentally friendly catalyst for oxidative-extractive desulfurization of gas oil (sulfur content = 2400 ppm) in the presence of H2O2 as an oxidizing agent. The precise structure of the prepared IL was confirmed using FT-IR spectroscopy, and1H-NMR. The reaction temperature, IL ratios, H2O2 dosage, and reaction time were studied to assess their effects on the desulfurization efficiency. The thermodynamic parameters of the oxidation reaction were determined. A desulfurization efficiency of 84.7% was obtained after the extractive desulfurization process using acetonitrile as an organic solvent at a solvent to feed ratio of 1:1 (v/v). Furthermore, the prepared IL may be reused for at least six cycles without any significant change in its desulfurization performance or chemical structure, which confirms its high reusability.

Abstract
A successful encapsulation of Keggin-type polyoxomolybdate (H3[PMo12O40], PMo12) into metal-organic framework (MOF) materials with an identical framework but distinct metal centers (ZIF-8 with Zn2+ and ZIF-67 with Co2+) was accomplished by a straightforward room-temperature procedure. The presence of Zn2+ in the composite material PMo12@ZIF-8 instead of Co2+ in PMo12@ZIF-67 caused a remarkable increase in the catalytic activity that achieved a total oxidative desulfurization of a multicomponent model diesel under moderate and friendly conditions (oxidant: H2O2 and solvent: ionic liquid, IL). Interestingly, the parent ZIF-8-based composite with the Keggin-type polyoxotungstate (H3[PW12O40], PW12), PW12@ZIF-8, did not show the relevant catalytic activity. The ZIF-type supports present an appropriate framework to accommodate active polyoxometalates (POMs) into their cavities without leaching, but the nature of the metallic center from the POM and the metal present in the ZIF framework were vital for the catalytic performance of the composite materials.

Mello M, Rutto H, Seodigeng T. Waste tire pyrolysis and desulfurization of tire pyrolytic oil (TPO) - A review. JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (1995) 2023; 73:159-177. [PMID: 36269581 DOI: 10.1080/10962247.2022.2136781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The presence of waste tires on open fields or households creates an ideal breeding ground for disease-carrying vermin, threatening human well-being. There are various technologies studied for efficient use of waste tires, such as pyrolysis, which results in char, oil, and non-condensable gases. Tire pyrolytic oil (TPO) has been reported to be similar to commercial diesel fuel. The current hurdle for using TPO in commercial diesel engines is the available sulfur content (>1.0 wt%). The disadvantages of sulfur in liquid fuels are its ability to reduce the engine's life due to corrosion and the undesirable emission of SOx that subsequently damages public health and property. There is a rising need to develop efficient technologies for the desulfurization of such liquid fuels. Besides conventional hydrodesulfurization, other emerging technologies include adsorption, oxidation, photocatalytic degradation, and biological desulfurization. This paper reviews the status of pyrolysis of waste tires and desulfurization technologies for TPO.Implications: The nature of tires makes them extremely challenging to recycle due to the available chemically cross-linked polymer and, therefore, they are neither fusible nor soluble and, consequently, cannot be remolded into other shapes without serious degradation. The presence of tire waste on open fields or households creates an ideal breeding ground for disease-carrying vermin which pose a threat to humans. Also, disposal in landfills can lead to groundwater pollution by heavy metals and cause hazardous and uncontrolled fires. Owing to the growing environmental concerns, the exploration of economically viable and environmentally friendly techniques for the management of waste tires has been intensified in the recent past. Thermochemical routes such as combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis are important in the management of waste tires, reducing the environmental impacts of tire volarization, and allowing for the recovery of products. Given the depletion of fossil fuels and to meet the ever-growing demand for fuel energy, several initiatives to find alternative fuel sources are currently being taken. Fuel oil obtained from the pyrolysis of waste tires is becoming a promising alternative source of energy given its availability and higher heating value. Pyrolysis, an eco-friendly process, is the heating of matter in the absence of oxygen and is normally practiced for the thermochemical decomposition of different types of feedstock including biomass, coal, tires, and municipal solid waste. This paper reviews the current studies for pyrolysis of waste tires and multiple desulfurization technologies used for treating TPO globally. The detailed specification on operating conditions for the pyrolysis reactor in achieving desirable products in terms of composition and ratios are discussed.

Abstract
Biomass pretreatment incurs 40% of the overall cost of biorefinery operations. The usage of mushroom cultivation as a pretreatment/delignification technique, and bio-ethanol production from spent mushroom substrates, after subsequent pretreatment, saccharification and fermentation processes, have been reported earlier. However, the present pilot-scale, entirely-organic demonstration is one of the very first biorefinery models, which efficiently consolidates: biomass pretreatment; in-situ cellulase production and saccharification; mushroom cultivation, thereby improving the overall operational economy. During pretreatment, the oyster mushroom, Pluerotus florida VS-6, matures into distinct substrate mycelia and fruiting bodies. Consequential variations in the kinetics of growth, biomass degradation/substrate utilization, oxygen uptake and transfer rates, and enzyme production, have been analyzed. Signifying the first-time usage of a biomass mixture, comprising vegetative waste and e-commerce packaging waste, the 30 day-long, bio-economical, non-inhibitor-generating, catabolite repression-limited, solid-state in-situ pretreatment-cum-saccharification, resulted in: 78% lignin degradation; 13.25% soluble-sugar release; 18.25% mushroom yield; 0.88 FPU/g.ds cellulase secretion. The in-situ saccharified biomass, when sequentially subjected to ex-situ enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, showed 37.35% saccharification, and a bio-ethanol yield of 0.425 g per g of glucose, respectively. Apart from yielding engine-ready bio-ethanol, the model doubles as an agripreneurial proposition, and encourages mushroom cultivation and consumption.

Abstract
Desulfurization of organic sulfur in the fuel oil is essential to cut down the emission of sulfur dioxide, which is a major precursor of the acid rain and PM2.5. Currently, hydrodesulfurization is regarded as a state-of-art technology for the desulfurization of fuel oil. However, due to the stringent legislation of the fuel oil, the deep desulfurization technology is urgent to be developed. Adsorptive desulfurization method is promising due to the high selectivity and easy operation. The development of efficient adsorbent is important to advance this technology into industrial application. In this work, the five types of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), including Cu-BTC, UMCM-150, MIL-101(Cr), UIO-66, and Cu-ABTC were synthesized for the adsorption of dibenzothiophene (DBT), a typical organic sulfur compound in the fuel oil. The experimental results revealed that the adsorption capacity of the five MOFs followed the order of Cu-ABTC, UMCM-150, Cu-BTC, MIL-101(Cr), and UIO-66, which adsorption capacities were 46.2, 34.2, 28.3, 26.3, and 22.0 mgS/g, respectively. The three types of Cu-based MOFs such as Cu-ABTC, UMCM-150, and Cu-BTC outperformed the Cr-based MOFs, MIL-101, and Zr-based MOFs, UIO-66. Since the surface area and pore volumes of the Cu-based MOFs were not the greatest among the tested five MOFs, the physical properties of the MOFs were not the only limited factor for the DBT adsorption. The π-complexation between DBT and linkers/metal in the MOFs was also important. Kinetic analysis showed that the DBT adsorption onto the five tested MOFs follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics, confirming that the chemical π-complexation was also contributed to the DBT adsorption. Furthermore, the operation parameters such as oil-adsorbent ratio, initial sulfur concentration and adsorption temperature for the DBT adsorption onto Cu-ABTC were optimized to be 100:1 g/g, 1000 mgS/L and 30 °C, respectively. This work can provide some insights into the development of efficient adsorbent for the organic sulfur adsorption.

Abstract
Utilising cavitation for enhancing oxidative desulphurization has been investigated for nearly-two decades with recent investigations shifting focus from low-capacity acoustic cavitation (AC) to scalable hydrodynamic cavitation (HC). This work focuses on developing a viable means for removing thiophene's from fuels. In the first phase of this work, use of vortex based HC devices for removal of single and dual ring thiophenes from dodecane was investigated. HC was shown to be able to remove single ring thiophene from dodecane without using any external catalyst or additives. However, in absence of catalyst or additives, it was not possible to remove dual ring thiophenes such as dibenzothiophene using HC. Therefore, in the second phase of this work, various strategies based on use of catalyst or additives to augment cavitation based process were investigated. AC based experiments were opted for shortlisting suitable catalysts and additives for intensifying cavitation based processes. The influence of using oxidant (H2O2) and carboxylic acid catalysts on efficacy of removal of dual ring thiophenes is presented. Several conditions were tested, and the optimal volumetric ratios of 0.95 v/v % H2O2 and 6.25 v/v % HCOOH was identified and utilised throughout the remainder of the study. Regeneration of extractant which accumulates oxidised sulphur species from dodecane was also investigated using AC. The additives and process conditions reported in this work are useful for enhancing desulphurization performance.

Abstract
An effective and sustainable oxidative desulfurization process for treating a multicomponent model fuel was successfully developed using as a heterogeneous catalyst a composite material containing as an active center the europium Lindqvist [Eu(W5O18)2]9- (abbreviated as EuW10) encapsulated into the nanoporous ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework) support. The EuW10@ZIF-8 composite was obtained through an impregnation procedure, and its successful preparation was confirmed by various characterization techniques (FT-IR, XRD, SEM/EDS, ICP-OES). The catalytic activity of the composite and the isolated EuW10 was evaluated in the desulfurization of a multicomponent model fuel containing dibenzothiophene derivatives (DBT, 4-MDBT and 4,6-DMDBT) with a total sulfur concentration of 1500 ppm. Oxidative desulfurization was performed using an ionic liquid as extraction solvent and aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The catalytic results showed a remarkable desulfurization performance, with 99.5 and 94.7% sulfur removal in the first 180 min, for the homogeneous active center EuW10 and the heterogeneous EuW10@ZIF-8 catalysts, respectively. Furthermore, the stability of the nanocomposite catalyst was investigated by reusing and recycling processes. A superior retention of catalyst activity in consecutive desulfurization cycles was observed in the recycling studies when compared with the reusing experiments. Nevertheless, the nanostructure of ZIF-8 incorporating the active POM (polyoxometalate) was shown to be highly suitable for guaranteeing the absence of POM leaching, although structural modification was found for ZIF-8 after catalytic use that did not influenced catalytic performance.

Abstract
Deep desulfurization of alkylated oil is the primary problem that has long plagued the petroleum refining industry. In this study, alkaline alumina adsorbent microspheres were synthesized by carbonization - hot oil column pelletization method. The adsorption desulfurization performance of as-synthesized adsorbent and three commercial alumina-based adsorbents were systematically evaluated and compared. The results showed that alkaline alumina adsorbent had the optimal adsorption performance with a saturated adsorption capacity of 8.604 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, FTIR and sulfur speciation analysis indicated that the alkaline alumina adsorbent could deeply remove various sulfides (methyl mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide, hexacarbon sulfide, dibenzothiophene, <i>etc.</i>) from alkylated oil. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics study manifested that the adsorption of sulfide was dominated by chemical adsorption, supplemented by physical adsorption, and accompanied by competitive adsorption among different sulfides. In addition, the regeneration experiment showed that nitrogen (90 °C) could realize the stable regeneration of the alkaline alumina adsorbent. To ensure stable regeneration performance in industry, it is recommended that the alkaline alumina adsorbent be regenerated once with nitrogen at 90 °C. This study will provide theoretical support for the process optimization of deep desulfurization of alkylated oil and contribute to the high-quality production of clean fuels worldwide.

Abstract
Relevant chemical separations for the petrochemical and chemical industries include the removal of aromatic hydrocarbons from aliphatics, the desulfurization and denitrification of fuels, and the separation of azeotropic mixtures containing alkanols. In an attempt to contribute to the development of novel technologies, the potentialities of imidazolium chloride ionic liquid (IL) mixtures as separation agents were investigated. Selectivities, capacities, and solvent performance indices were calculated through the activity coefficients at infinite dilution of organic solutes and water in the imidazolium chloride IL: [C8mim]Cl, [C12mim]Cl, and the equimolar mixture of [C4mim]Cl and [C12mim]Cl. Results show that the imidazolium chloride IL might be appropriately tailored for specific purposes, in which an increase in the proportion of cations containing larger alkyl chains tends to increase the overall affinity with organic solutes. The IL designer solvent concept was explored by comparing the IL equimolar mixture results with the intermediary [C8mim]Cl. The COSMO-RS thermodynamic model was also applied, showing it to be a promising tool for a fast qualitative screening of potential separation agents for specific separation processes.

Abstract
This research investigates the catalytic performance of a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a functionalized ligand-UiO-66-NH2-in the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in n-dodecane as a model fuel mixture (MFM). The solvothermally prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD, FTIR, 1H NMR, SEM, TGA, and MP-AES analyses. A response surface methodology was employed for the experiment design and variable optimization using central composite design (CCD). The effects of reaction conditions on DBT removal efficiency, including temperature (X 1), oxidant agent over sulfur (O/S) mass ratio (X 2), and catalyst over sulfur (C/S) mass ratio (X 3), were assessed. Optimal process conditions for sulfur removal were obtained when the temperature, O/S mass ratio, and C/S mass ratio were 72.6 °C, 1.62 mg/mg, and 12.1 mg/mg, respectively. Under these conditions, 89.7% of DBT was removed from the reaction mixture with a composite desirability score of 0.938. From the results, the temperature has the most significant effect on the oxidative desulfurization reaction. The model F values gave evidence that the quadratic model was well-fitted. The reusability of the MOF catalyst in the ODS reaction was tested and demonstrated a gradual loss of activity over four runs.

Abstract
Hollow niobium oxide nanospheres were successfully synthesized by using prepared three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous carbon as the hard template. The 3D mesoporous carbon materials were prepared by using histidine as the carbon source and silica microspheres as the hard template. The samples were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and other methods. The results show that the prepared niobium oxide nanospheres have a hollow spherical structure with an outer diameter of about 45 nm and possess a high specific surface area of 134.3 m2·g−1. Furthermore, the 3D mesoporous carbon materials have a typical porous structure with a high specific surface area of 893 m2·g−1. The hollow niobium oxide nanospheres exhibit high catalytic activity in oxidative desulfurization. Under optimal reaction conditions, the DBT conversion rate of the simulated oil is as high as 98.5%. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism is proposed.

Abstract
Experiments were carried out to research the different contents of Ga2O3 modification effects on the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) performance of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) catalyzed by the stepwise impregnation method. Characterization techniques such as XRD, BET, HRTEM, NH3-TPD, and Py-FTIR were performed to determine the effects of each modification of the catalyst by Ga on the properties of the prepared supports and catalysts. The catalytic effect of gallium is reflected in the fact that the empty d-orbitals of Ga elements participate in the formation of molecular orbitals in the active center and change their orbital properties, thus generating a direct desulfurization active phase suitable for complex sulfides for endpoint adsorption. The characterization results indicated that the introduction of Ga2O3 with appropriate content (2 wt.%) promoted Ni and Mo species to disperse uniformly and doping of more Ni atoms into the MoS2 crystals, which also increased the average stacking number and the length of MoS2. As a result, more NiMoS active phases were favored to form in the system. The specific surface area and the amounts of acid sites were increased, facilitating the adsorption of reactant molecules and the HDS reactions. The HDS results also suggested the effects of Ga modification play a very important role in the catalytic performance of the corresponding catalysts. The catalyst Ga–Ni–Mo/Al2O3 exhibited the highest conversion rate towards 4,6-DMDBT HDS when the amount of Ga2O3 loading was 2 wt.% with an LHSV of 2.5 h−1 at 290°C and Ga modification also can effectively improve the direct desulfurization (DDS) route selectivity in varying degrees.

Abstract
A new system was developed for measuring sulfur isotopes δ 33S and δ 34S from atmospheric carbonyl sulfide (COS) on small air samples of several liters, using pre-concentration and gas chromatography - isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-IRMS). Measurements of COS isotopes provide a tool for quantifying the COS budget, which will help towards better understanding climate feedback mechanisms. For a 4 liter sample at ambient COS mixing ratio, ~500 parts per trillion (ppt), we obtain a reproducibility error of 2.1 ‰ for δ 33S and 0.4 ‰ for δ 34S. After applying corrections, the uncertainty for an individual ambient air sample measurement is 2.5 ‰ for δ 33S and 0.9 ‰ for δ 34S. The ability to measure small samples allows application to a global-scale sampling program with limited logistical effort. To illustrate the application of this newly developed system, we present a timeseries of ambient air measurements, during the fall and winter of 2020 and 2021 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The observed background values were δ 33S = 1.0 ± 3.4 ‰ and δ 34S = 15.5 ± 0.8 ‰ (VCDT). The maximum observed COS mixing ratios was only 620 ppt. This, in combination with the relatively high δ 34S suggests that the Netherlands receives little COS-containing anthropogenic emissions. We observed a change in COS mixing ratio and δ 34S with different air mass origin, as modelled with HYSPLIT backward trajectory analyses. An increase of 40 ppt in mean COS mixing ratio was observed between fall and winter, which is consistent with the expected seasonal cycle in the Netherlands. Additionally, we present the results of samples from a highway tunnel to characterize vehicle COS emissions and isotopic composition. The vehicle emissions were small, with COS/CO 2 being 0.4 ppt/ppm; the isotopic signatures are depleted relatively to background atmospheric COS.

Mechanistic Understanding of Gordonia sp. in Biodesulfurization of Organosulfur Compounds. Curr Microbiol 2022; 79:82.

Abstract
Although conventional oil refining process like hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is capable of removing sulfur compounds present in crude oil, it cannot desulfurize recalcitrant organosulfur compounds such as dibenzothiophenes (DBTs), benzothiophenes (BTs), etc. Biodesulfurization (BDS) is a process of selective removal of sulfur moieties from DBT or BT by desulfurizing microbes. Therefore, BDS can be used as a complementary and economically feasible technology to achieve deep desulfurization of crude oil without affecting the calorific value. In the recent past, members of biodesulfurizing actinomycete genus Gordonia, isolated from versatile environments like soil, activated sludge, human beings etc. have been greatly exploited in the field of petroleum refining technology. The bacterium Gordonia sp. is slightly acid-fast and has been used for unconventional but potential oil refining processes like BDS in petroleum refineries. Gordonia sp. is unique in a way, that it can desulfurize both aliphatic and aromatic organosulfurs without affecting the calorific value of hydrocarbon molecules. Till date, approximately six different species and nineteen strains of the genus Gordonia have been recognized for BDS activity. Various factors such as enzyme specificity, availability of essential cofactors, feedback inhibition, toxicity of organic pollutants and the oil-water separations limit the desulfurization rate of microbial biocatalyst and influence its commercial applications. The current review selectively highlights the role of this versatile genus in removing sulfur from fossil fuels, mechanisms and future prospects on sustainable environment friendly technologies for crude oil refining.

Abstract
Desulfurization of liquid fuels mitigates the amount of noxious sulfur oxides and particulates released during fuel combustion. Existing literature on oxidative-adsorptive desulfurization technologies focus on sulfur-in-fuel removal by various materials, but very little information is presented about their desorption kinetics and thermodynamics. Herein, we report for the first time, the mechanism of sulfur desorption from neutral activated alumina saturated with dibenzothiophene sulfone. Batch experiments were conducted to examine the effects of agitation rate, desorption temperature, sulfur content, and eluent type on sulfur desorption efficiencies. Results show enhanced desorption capacities at higher agitation rate, desorption temperature, and initial sulfur content. Desorption efficiency and capacity of acetone were found to be remarkably superior to ethanol, acetone:ethanol (1:1), and acetone:isopropanol (1:1). Desorption kinetics reveal excellent fit of the nonlinear pseudo-second-order equation on desorption data, indicating chemisorption as the rate-determining step. Results of the thermodynamics study show the spontaneous (ΔG° ≤ -2.08 kJ mol-1) and endothermic (ΔH° = 32.35 kJ mol-1) nature of sulfur desorption using acetone as eluent. Maximum regeneration efficiency was attained at 93% after washing the spent adsorbent with acetone followed by oven-drying. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy analyses reveal the intact and undamaged structure of neutral activated alumina even after adsorbent regeneration. Overall, the present work demonstrates the viability of neutral activated alumina as an efficient and reusable adsorbent for the removal of sulfur compounds from liquid fossil fuels.

Abstract
Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has attracted much attention owing to the mild working conditions and effective removal of the aromatic sulfur-containing compounds which are difficult to desulfurize using the industrial hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technique. Molecular oxygen in ambient air have been recognized as an ideal oxidant in ODS due to its easy availability, non-toxicity and low cost in recent years. However, molecular oxygen activation under mild operating conditions is still a challenge. Porous materials and their composites have drawn increasing attention due to their advantages, such as high surface area and confined pore space, along with their stability. These merits contribute to the fast diffusion of oxygen molecules and the formation of more exposed active sites, which make them ideal catalysts for aerobic oxidation reactions. The confined space pore size offers a means of catalytic activity and durability improvement. This gives rise to copious attention toward the porous catalysts in AODS. In this review, the progress in the characteristics and AODS catalytic activities of porous catalysts is summarized. Then, emphasis on the molecular oxygen activation mechanism is traced. Finally, the breakthroughs and challenges of various categories of porous catalysts are concluded.

Abstract
Sulfur compound detection such as mercaptans in liquid fuels is undesirable because sulfur is the main sourcing emission of sulfur oxide (SOx) into the air. The use of activated carbon (AC) has proven to efficiently remove mercaptans. In the meantime, it is limited by the generation of the second pollution in oil and the difficulties of recovery and regeneration. A core-shell structured AC with high mechanical strength and big intra-particles space was synthesized and demonstrated to efficiently remove organic pollutants from an aqueous solution without the generation of the second pollution in our previous work. However, the performance and behaviors of mercaptans adsorption from gasoline oil by core-shell structured AC were still unclear. In this study, the mercaptans adsorption behaviors using core-shell powdered activated carbon (CSAC) and core-shell granulated activated carbon (CSGAC), along with raw PAC, PAC-core, raw GAC, and GAC-core, were carried out. The results showed that both the CSAC and CSGAC adsorbents effectively removed sulfur-based pollutants and were provided with good recovery and recyclability without second pollution in gasoline oil. The CSGAC exhibited a higher mercaptans removal efficiency compared to those of CSAC as a result of the bigger intra-particles space. PAC-based adsorbents presented the shrinking of removal efficiency after regeneration. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was dominated for mercaptans adsorption by both CSAC and CSGAC. The adsorption of ethanethiol on CSGAC was better fitted to the Freundlich model, 1-butanethiol adsorption by CSAC and CSGAC, and ethanethiol adsorption on CSAC which was dominated by Langmuir model.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2021; 8:e2102376.

Abstract
The techniques for the production of the environment have received attention because of the increasing air pollution, which results in a negative impact on the living environment of mankind. Over the decades, burgeoning interest in polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) based photocatalysts for heterogeneous catalysis of air pollutants has been witnessed, which is improved by harvesting visible light, layered/defective structures, functional groups, suitable/adjustable band positions, and existing Lewis basic sites. PCN-based photocatalytic air purification can reduce the negative impacts of the emission of air pollutants and convert the undesirable and harmful materials into value-added or nontoxic, or low-toxic chemicals. However, based on previous reports, the systematic summary and analysis of PCN-based photocatalysts in the catalytic elimination of air pollutants have not been reported. The research progress of functional PCN-based composite materials as photocatalysts for the removal of air pollutants is reviewed here. The working mechanisms of each enhancement modification are elucidated and discussed on structures (nanostructure, molecular structue, and composite) regarding their effects on light-absorption/utilization, reactant adsorption, intermediate/product desorption, charge kinetics, and reactive oxygen species production. Perspectives related to further challenges and directions as well as design strategies of PCN-based photocatalysts in the heterogeneous catalysis of air pollutants are also provided.
