“…However, harsh reaction conditions including high temperature, high pressure, and large hydrogen consumption must be provided for hydrodesulfurization, and its removal efficiency for heteroaromatic sulfur compounds such as benzothiophene (BT), dibenzothiophene (DBT), and 4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6‐DMDBT) is not satisfactory due to the steric hindrance effect on the S atom. Therefore, it is imperative to explore new desulfurization methods as a complement or alternative for the conventional process, and recent studies on this topic have focused on extraction, adsorption, biodesulfurization, pervaporation, and oxidative desulfurization (ODS) . Among these methods, ODS has been critically acclaimed by various researchers, because of its mild reaction conditions and high efficiency for the removal of heteroaromatic sulfur compounds.…”
