Abstract
A combination of catalytic oxidation and extraction in ionic liquid (IL) was used for the removal of benzothiophene (BT), dibenzothiophene (DBT), and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) from the model oil. Three peroxophosphomolybdates Q3{PO4[MoO(O2)2]4} (Q = [(C4H9)4N]+, [C14H29N(CH3)3]+ and [C16H33NC5H5]+) were synthesized and characterized. In the catalytic oxidation desulfurization (CODS) system containing the peroxophosphomolybdate with short alkyl chain ([(C4H9)4N]3{PO4[MoO(O2)2]4}) and H2O2, the process exhibited low sulfur removal (16.8%). However, with addition of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4), the extraction and catalytic oxidative desulfurization (ECODS) system remarkably increased the removal of sulfur to 97.3% (with stoichiometric amounts of H2O2). The process was superior to the simple extraction with IL (16.3%). The results demonstrated that the ECODS system could deeply remove DBT from the model oil, and this desulfurization system could be recycled 4 times...
