In this work, we reported the conversion though carbothermal process of two catalysts produced by pyrolyzing exhausted coffee and waste tires. We tailored the surface with anchored iron nanoparticles through a facile carbothermal route and tested them for catalytic oxidative desulphurization of high sulphur content oil derived from tires pyrolysis. We studied their activity in a biphasic system under different conditions reaching a desulphurization of up to of 60% by using an oil with a sulphur concentration of up to 7139 ppm. The extensive characterization proved the reliability of those materials as promising catalysts for upgrading of sulphur rich drop-in fuels.
