Abstract
In this paper, a tetra(n-butyl)ammonium salt of ironIII-substituted phosphotungstate@lead oxide composite, (TBA)4PW11Fe@PbO, was successfully synthesized by the thermal decomposition method as a nanocatalyst for oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of gas oil. The incorporation of the materials was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization methods. To evaluate the catalytic activity of (TBA)4PW11Fe@PbO, the ODS process was carried out using a CH3COOH/H2O2 oxidizing agent at 60 °C. From the attained results, the total sulfur and mercaptan content of real gas oil were reduced with 97% efficiency after 2 h. Furthermore, the various comparative experiments were performed to investigate the capability of (TBA)4PW11Fe@PbO in ODS of prepared model fuel. Results were indicated that the kinetics of sulfur oxida...
