Oxidative Desulfurization of Diesel Fuel Using Three Kinds of Carboxylic Acids Supported by Iron(III) Chloride by Jalil H. Kareem

“…Within 25 min of the treatment, a maximum elimination of aromatic S-compounds of 65.1% was obtained when molar ratio of oxidant to sulfur (nH2O2/nS) was 36 and molar ratio of CA to sulfur (nCA/nS) was 26. Surface tension calculations for the CAs demonstrated that the average void radius of the acids has a pronounced effect on the fitting of S-compounds from diesel fuel into acids and is important to sulfur removal. …”
