摘要
This article describes two kinds of model oil samples made of a benzothiophene/octane mixture and a 2-me- thylthiophene/octane mixture. Furthermore, this paper investigates the oxidative desulfurization selectivity and reaction efficiency when Ce4+ compound and H2O2 having identical electron equivalent weight were used as oxidants. The test re- sults showed that the two kinds of oxidants were more effective to remove benzothiophene in the model oil samples. For oxidative desulfurization of 2-methylthiophene, Ce4+ compound was obviously superior than H2O2. This paper by means of quantum chemistry analyses elaborates the complex formed between Ce4+ species and 2-methylthiophene and FT-IR spec- trograms of model oil samples before and after oxidation by Ce4+ compound and H2O2, respectively. The results demonstrat- ed that Ce4+ compound could remove sulfur compounds not only through oxidation reaction but also through complexation reaction.
