摘要

In this paper,the oxidative desulfurization(ODS)system is directly applied to deal with the catalytic oxidation of sulfur compounds of sulfur-containing model oil by dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)plasma in the presence of air plus an extraction step with the oxidation-treated fuel put over ionic liquid[BMIM]FeCl4(1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate).This new system exhibited an excellent desulfurization effect.The sulfur content of DBT in diesel oil decreased from 200 ppm to 4.92 ppm(S removal rate up to 97.5%)under the following optimal reaction conditions:air flow rate(v)of 60 mL/min,amplitude of applied voltage(U)on DBD of 16 kV,input frequency(f)of 79 kHz,catalyst amount(ω)of 1.25 wt%,reaction time(t)of10 min.Moreover,a high desulfurization rate was obtained during oxidation of benzothiophene(BT)or 4,6-DMDBT(4,6-dimethyl-dibenzothiophene)under the aforementioned conditions.The oxidation reactivity of different S compounds was decreased in the order of DBT,4,6-DMDBT and BT.The remarkable advantage of the novel ODS system is that the desulfurization condition applies in the presence of air at ambient conditions without peroxides,aqueous solvent or biphasic oil-aqueous solution system.
