Abstract
Thiophene, benzothiophene, and dibenzothiophene were extracted from isooctane using water and aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, and sodium chloride at different concentrations, as solvents or extractants. The sulfur compound in isooctane at a definite concentration comprises model fuel. It was observed that the extraction ability of water is enhanced by adding those solutes or reagents. The aim of this work is to establish water-based solutions as an economic extractant for desulfurization of model fuel containing thiophenic sulfur compounds, by choosing the appropriate concentration of those aqueous extractants and using them at the most suitable extractive condition. The best result was obtained from aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, whose maximum sulfur removal efficiency toward thiophene, benzothiophene, and dibenzothiophene was 50, 28.2, and 26.8%, respectively. The effect of operational parameters on extraction, s...
