Photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene solution and real sample of fuel by using Mn-doped ZnO under visible irradiation

Removal of Dibenzothiophene from Liquid Fuels by Photocatalytic Desulfurization over Zn‐Terephthalate Complex: A Process Modelling and Optimization by Response Surface Methodology

“…HDS is used to remove sulfur compounds under difficult conditions and also requires increasing the residence time of the reactor. [1][2][3][4] Removal of ring sulfur compounds such as dibenzothiophene (DBT) and other similar compounds can be done under difficult conditions. Recently, various methods such as extractive and oxidative methods have been developed to remove aromatic sulfur compounds such as dibenzothiophene, which require mild conditions.…”

“…Recently, the applications of energy stored in MOF-based materials have been studied in research fields. [2,3] Several materials in the class of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) were investigated to determine their sorption characteristics for sulfur compounds from fuels. [7][8][9][10][11] The materials were tested using different model oils and common fuels such as low-sulfur gasoline or diesel fuel at room temperature and ambient pressure.…”

“…[1] Catalytic and photocatalytic oxidation techniques are common methods for the removal of S-containing aromatics and different catalysts have been studied. [2][3][4] Most of the catalysts are mixed metal oxides with the structure of spinels and perovskites. Esmaili and Hosseini reported the application of LaMnxCo 1-x O 3 (x = 0, 0.25) perovskites for the desulfurization of thiophenes compounds by catalytic oxidative desulfurization (CODS) and ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAOD).…”

“…Common sulfur compounds in fuels which are stable even in the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process are dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its derivatives. HDS is used to remove sulfur compounds under difficult conditions and also requires increasing the residence time of the reactor [1–4] . Removal of ring sulfur compounds such as dibenzothiophene (DBT) and other similar compounds can be done under difficult conditions.…”
