Organic sulfur compounds in diesel fuel produce SOx during combustion in vehicles, leading to severe environmental pollution and causing health issues. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established increasingly rigid sulfur-content standards, which has led to intense interest in deep desulfurization of diesel fuel. However, current desulfurization technology is not sufficient to achieve the ultralow sulfur diesel (ULSD) required for use in highway vehicles. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) appearing at the beginning of this century have become excellent extraction agents for the deep extractive desulfurization process, owing to its low cost, simple and environmentally friendly synthesis process, chemical stability, non-volatility, and being biodegradable. Research shows that DESs have better efficiency than traditional ionic liquids (ILs). Therefore, DESs are better suited for use in desulfurization. In this study, a new potassium salt-based DES was synthesized using potassium carbonate(K2CO3) and ethylene glycol (EG). This type of DES and 30 wt.% H2O2 were employed as extractant and oxidant separately for the desulfurization system. Various experiments were carried out on the process of oxidative desulfurization (ODS), extractive desulfurization(EDS) and extractive and oxidative desulfurization (EODS) to find the optimal desulfurization process with this new type of DES. The study found EDS to be the optimal desulfurization process, with a sulfur removal efficiency of 86% at 30[degrees]C after 2 hours, which is higher than most DESs.

Ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAODS) of diesel fuel in H2O2/Heteropoly acid/Solvent systems, was investigated. Effects of solvent, catalyst, ultrasound and reaction temperature on the oxidation desulfurization of diesel fuel were investigated. When MPA/oil was 2%wt, methanol/diesel fuel was 20%wt, ultrasound power was 400 W and ultrasound time was 10 min, the sulfur content of diesel fuel was decreased from 211 ppm to 19 ppm. The use of ultrasonic irradiation in H2O2/Heteropoly acid/Solvent system significantly improved the efficiency of the oxidation reaction, and solvent was helpful to make the oxidative reaction happen in the same one phase.

Continuous growth in consumption of oil in the world, as well as ever-increasing quality requirements stimulate the search for new scientific and technological solutions to directionally affect the characteristics of petroleum products, including their chemical composition. The advantages of oxidative desulfurization before hydrotreating are the absence of the need to use hydrogen, as well as small capital and energy costs, since the method does not require high temperatures and pressures. The purpose of this work was to study the oxidation process of diesel fuel and to search for the optimal mode of oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel in the presence of transition metals salts with the addition of mineral acids. The object of the study is a straight-run diesel fraction of the Pavlodar Petrochemical Plant with boiling temperatures of 180-350°C. The oxidation process was carried out with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of salts of the transition metals molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten. The article defined the basic physico-chemical characteristics of straight-run and desulfurized diesel fractions. The optimal catalyst (Na2MoO4) was selected at a molar ratio of metal to sulfur of 1:100 for the oxidation process of straight-run diesel fractions. As a result of oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel in the presence of sodium molybdenum perox complexes, the total sulfur content decreased by 42.9%, and with the addition of sulfuric acid by 56.5%. An increase in the cetane index from 56.3 to 58.6 was revealed in the presence of sodium molybdate with the addition of sulfuric acid.

<p>An effective gas-phase oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process was proposed. The process was studied in a laboratory reactor with a proprietary catalyst at 300-400 ºС and ambient pressure with model fuels represented by thiophene, dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT) dissolved in octane, isooctane or toluene. The reactivity of different sulfur containing molecules in ODS was shown to increase in the sequence: thiophene &lt; DBT &lt; DMDBT. The main sulfur containing product of oxidation of these compounds was SO<sub>2</sub>. During the gas-phase ODS both processes of sulfur species oxidation and processes of their adsorption were observed and studied. Based on the conducted studies, different ODS process designs comprising its integration with adsorption and regeneration processes and with conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process were proposed. One scheme is based on alternating regimes of ODS and catalyst regeneration in two reactors: sulfur is removed from organic feedstock by oxidation and adsorption in one reactor while simultaneous regeneration of the catalyst that has accumulated sulfur  compounds takes place in another reactor. Two other schemes are based on joint use of ODS and HDS. The conventional HDS process is most effective for removal of low-boiling sulfur containing compounds reactive with respect to hydrogen, while removal of refractory sulfur compounds, such as DMDBT is more easily achieved by gas phase ODS. Thus the combination of these processes is expected to be most efficient for deep desulfurization of diesel fuel.</p>
