Highly Efficient Catalytic Oxidative Desulfurization of Dibenzothiophene using Layered Double Hydroxide Modified Polyoxometalate Catalyst

Abstract

Layered double hydroxide-modified polyoxometalate (ZnAl-PW) was prepared and used for the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene. XRD patterns of ZnAl-LDH and PW are still present in ZnAl-PW. The bands of ZnAl-PW in wavenumber 3276, 1637, 1363, 1050, 952, 887, and 667 cm-1. The typical surface of ZnAl-LDH and ZnAl-PW can be observed not smooth in different sized with irregular shapes. The average diameter distribution of ZnAl-LDH and ZnAl-PW is 14 nm and 47 nm, respectively. For dibenzothiophene with 500 ppm, conversion on ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW was 94.71%, 95.88%, and 99.16%, respectively. Conversion of dibenzothiophene in line with the acidity of ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW were 0.399, 1.635, and 3.023 mmol/gram, respectively. The most effective catalyst dosage for the desulfurization of dibenzothiophene on ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW is 0.25 g. The unchanged dibenzothiophene concentration indicates a heterogeneous system. ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW are truly heterogeneous catalysts. After 3 cycles of oxidative desulfurization, the percentage conversion of dibenzothiophene on ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW were 77.42 %, 65.98%, and 86.38%, respectively.

Recycle Performance of Heterogeneous Catalyst Metal Oxides-Based Layered Double Hydroxide for Oxidative Desulfurization Process of 4-methyldibenzothiophene

“…These data demonstrate that increased temperature aids in the conversion of 4-MDBT to the associated 4-MDBTO2. The influence of H2O2's rapid breakdown rate, which may stifle oxidation reactions, causes the catalytic activity to decline at temperature rises [47,48]. The outcome at 50 °C was effective for 4-MDBT conversion and beneficial for energy conservation.…”

Catalytic Oxidative Desulfurization of 4-Methyldibenzothiophene by Ni/Al Modified Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide

“…Research on the desulfurization process is ongoing as scientists continue to explore effective materials for converting sulfur through chemical methods, particularly by employing catalytic oxidation reactions with synthesized catalysts. Several catalysts have been documented for desulfurization, including polyoxometalate (Ahmad et al, 2022a), red mud (Liu et al, 2023), pentaethylenehexaminephosphotungstic acid (Wu et al, 2023) and layered double hydroxide (Song et al, 2021). An ideal catalyst is characterized by its ability to be rapidly synthesized, produced at a low cost, and demonstrate high efficiency (Ahmad et al, 2022b).…”

“…This process helps to effectively remove sulfur compounds from gasoline, providing fuel quality improves (Rajendran et al, 2022). Several catalysts have been used for oxidative desulfurization such as pentaethylenehexamine-phosphotungstic acid (Wu et al, 2023), Ni/ZnO (Zhu et al, 2023) and Polyoxometalate (Ahmad et al, 2022a).…”
