The desulfurization of gas streams using aqueous iron(II)sulfate (Fe(II)SO4), zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and copper sulfate (CuSO4) solutions as washing liquor is studied theoretically and experimentally. The desulfurization is accomplished by a precipitation reaction that occurs when sulfide ions and metal ions are brought into contact with each other. A thermodynamic study has been used to determin...

Kinetic and isotopic methods were used to probe elementary steps and site requirements for thiophene hydrogenation and desulfurization on Ru metal clusters. Turnover rates for these reactions were unaffected by whether samples were treated in H2 or H2S to form metal and sulfide clusters, respectively, before reaction. These data, taken together with the rate and extent of sulfur removal from us...

In this research, the effects of important parameters, including the molar ratio of acetic acid to sulfur(S) , sonication time, temperature, and hydrogen the molar ratio of peroxide to sulfur on the performance of ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization were studied using the response surface method (RSM). To this end, a model fuel containing n-decane and dibenzothiophene at a concentrati...

Platinum group metals (PGMs) usually exhibit promising aerobic catalytic abilities, providing a green and feasible oxidative desulfurization method. However, often, the PGM nanoparticles (NPs) get leached, catalysts are deactivated. In this work, Pt NPs with particle sizes of approximately 4–5 nm were encapsulated effectively uniformly on surface vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanosheets (with thick...

In this paper, the effect of MgO, BaO, Na 2 O and SrO addition to a pre-melted CaO-Al2O3 -Si 2 O synthetic slag on sulfur removal from plain carbon steel was studied under the same experimental conditions. The slags were pre-melted at 1400°C in an electric resistant furnace and desulfurization experiments were carried out in a high frequency induction furnace. The results showed that ...
