Few-layered hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets stabilized Pt NPs for oxidation promoted adsorptive desulfurization of fuel oil

A few-layered hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets stabilized platinum nanoparticles(Pt/h-BNNS)is engineered for oxidation-promoted adsorptive desulfurization(OPADS)of fuel oil.It was found that the few-layered structure and the defective sites of h-BNNS not only are beneficial to the stabilization of Pt NPs but also favor the adsorption of aromatic sulfides.By employing Pt/h-BNNS with a Pt loading amount of 1.19 wt%as the active adsorbent and air as an oxidant,a 98.0%sulfur removal over dibenzothiophene(DBT)is achieved along with a total conversion of the DBT to the corresponding sulfones(DBTO_(2)).Detailed experiments show that the excellent desulfurization activity originates from the few-layered structure of h-BNNS and the high catalytic activity of Pt NPs.In addition,the OPADS system with Pt/h-BNNS as the active adsorbent shows remarkable stability in desulfurization performance with the existence of different interferents such as olefin,and aromatic hydrocarbons.Besides,the Pt/h-BNNS can be recycled 12 times without a significant decrease in desulfurization performance.Also,a process flow diagram is proposed for deep desulfurization of fuel oil and recovery of high value-added products,which would promote the industrial application of such OPADS strategy.

Synergistic catalysis of the N-hydroxyphthalimide on flower-like bimetallic metal-organic frameworks for boosting oxidative desulfurization

Synergic catalytic effect between active sites and supports greatly determines the catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidative desulfurization of fuel oils.In this work,Ni-doped Co-based bimetallic metal-organic framework(CoNi-MOF)is fabricated to disperse N-hydroxyphthalimide(NHPI),in which the whole catalyst provides plentiful synergic catalytic effect to improve the performance of oxidative desulfurization(ODS).As a bimetallic MOF,the second metal Ni doping results in the flower-like morphology and the modification of electronic properties,which ensure the exposure of NHPI and strengthen the synergistic effect of the overall catalyst.Compared with the monometallic Co-MOF and naked NHPI,the NHPI@CoNi-MOF triggers the efficient activation of molecular oxygen and improves the ODS performance without an initiator.The sulfur removal of dibenzothiophene-based model oil reaches 96.4%over the NHPI@CoNi-MOF catalyst in 8 h of reaction.Furthermore,the catalytic product of this aerobic ODS reaction is sulfone,which is adsorbed on the catalyst surface due to the difference in polarity.This work provides new insight and strategy for the design of a strong synergic catalytic effect between NHPI and bimetallic supports toward high-activity aerobic ODS materials.

Polyurethane/desulfurization ash(PU/DA)composites were synthesized using"one-pot method",with the incorporation of a silane coupling agent(KH550)as a"molecular bridge"to facilitate the integration of DA as hard segments into the PU molecular chain.The effects of DA content(φ)on the mechanical properties,thermal stability,and hydrophobicity of PU,both before and after the addition of KH550,were thoroughly examined.The results of microscopic mechanism analysis confirmed that KH550 chemically modified the surface of DA,facilitating its incorporation into the polyurethane molecular chain,thereby significantly enhancing the compatibility and dispersion of DA within the PU matrix.When the mass fraction of modified DA(MDA)reached 12%,the mechanical properties,thermal stability,and hydrophobicity of the composites were substantially improved,with the tensile strength reaching 14.9 MPa,and the contact angle measuring 100.6°.

Optimization of a continuous ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization(UAOD) process of diesel using response surface methodology(RSM) considering operating cost

A continuous-flow ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization(UAOD)of partially hydro-treated diesel has been investigated using hydrogen peroxide-formic acid as simple and easy to apply oxidation system.The effects of different operating parameters of oxidation stage including residence time(2–24 min),formic acid to sulfur molar ratio(10–150),and oxidant to sulfur molar ratio(5–35)on the sulfur removal have been studied using response surface methodology(RSM)based on Box–Behnken design.Considering the operating costs of the continuous-flow oxidation stage including chemical and electrical energy consumption,the appropriate values of operating parameters were selected as follows:residence time of 16 min,the formic acid to sulfur molar ratio of 54.47,and the oxidant to sulfur molar ratio of 8.24.In these conditions,the sulfur removal and the volume ratio of the hydrocarbon phase to the aqueous phase were 86.90%and 4.34,respectively.By drastic reduction in the chemical consumption in the oxidation stage,the volume ratio of the hydrocarbon phase to the aqueous phase was increased up to 10.Therefore,the formic acid to sulfur molar ratio and the oxidant to sulfur molar ratio were obtained 23.64 and 3.58,respectively,which lead to sulfur removal of 84.38%with considerable improvements on the operating cost of oxidation stage in comparison with the previous works.

Integration of Desulfurization and Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Enabled by Amino-Functionalized Porous Carbon Nanofibers

Hydrogen sulfide(H_(2)S)is an industrial exhausted gas that is highly toxic to humans and the environment.Combining desulfurization and fabrication of cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)can solve this issue with a double benefit.Herein,the amino-functionalized lotus root-like carbon nanofibers(NH_(2)-PLCNFs)are prepared by the amination of electrospinning carbon nanofibers under dielectric barrier discharge plasma.Selective catalytic oxidation of H_(2)S to elemental sulfur(S)is achieved over the metalfree NH_(2)-PLCNFs catalyst,and the obtained composite S@NH_(2)-PLCNFs is further used as cathode in LSBs.NH_(2)-PLCNFs enable efficient desulfurization(removal capacity as high as 3.46 g H_(2)S g^(−1) catalyst)and strongly covalent stabilization of S on modified carbon nanofibers.LSBs equipped with S@NH_(2)-PLCNFs deliver a high specific capacity of 705.8 mA h g^(−1) at 1 C after 1000 cycles based on the spatial confinement and the covalent stabilization of electroactive materials on amino-functionalized porous carbon matrix.It is revealed that S@NH_(2)-PLCNFs obtained by this kind of chemical vapor deposition leads to a more homogeneous S distribution and superior electrochemical performance to the sample S/NH_(2)-PLCNF-M prepared by the traditional molten infusion.This work opens a new avenue for the combination of environment protection and energy storage.

Facile synthesis of efficient pentaethylenehexamine-phosphotungstic acid heterogeneous catalysts for oxidative desulfurization

The ultra-deep desulfurization of oil needs to be solved urgently due to various problems,including environmental pollution and environmental protection requirements.Oxidative desulfurization(ODS)was considered to be the most promising technology.The facile synthesis of highly efficient and stable HPW-based heterogeneous catalysts for oxidative desulfurization is still a challenging task.In this paper,pentamethylene hexamine(PEHA)and phosphotungstic acid(HPW)were combined by a simple one-step method to prepare a heterogeneous catalyst of PEHA-HPW for the production of ultra-deep desulfurization fuel oil.The composite material exhibited excellent catalytic activity and high recyclability,which could reach a 100% dibenzothiophene(DBT)removal rate in 30 min and be recycled at least 5 times.Experiments and DFT simulations were used to better examine the ODS mechanism of PEHA-HPW.It was proved that the rich amino groups on the surface of PEHA-HPW play a crucial role.This work provides a simple and feasible way for the manufacture of efficient HPW-based catalysts.

Titanium-rich TS-1 zeolite for highly efficient oxidative desulfurization

The exploration of highly efficient catalysts based on nano-sized Ti-rich titanosilicate zeolites with controllable active titanium species is of great importance in zeolite catalytic reactions.Herein,we reported an efficient and facile synthesis of nano-sized Ti-rich TS-1(MFI)zeolites by replacing tetrabutyl orthotitanate(TBOT)with tetrabutyl orthotitanate tetramer(TBOT-tetramer)as the titanium source.The introduced TBOT-tetramer slowed down the zeolite crystallization process,and accordingly balanced the rate of incorporating Ti and the crystal growth and inhibited the massive formation of anatase species.Notably,the prepared Ti-rich TS-1 zeolite sample had a Si/Ti as low as 27.6 in contrast to conventional one with a molar ratio of 40.The TBOT-tetramer endowed the titanosilicate zeolites with enriched active titanium species and enlarged external surface area.It also impeded the formation of anatase species,resulting in superior catalytic behavior toward the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene compared with the conventional TS-1 zeolite counterpart prepared with TBOT.

Research on process modeling and simulation of spent lead paste desulfurization enhanced reactor

In the reaction process of carbonate desulfurization lead paste,the produced PbCO_(3) is easily wrapped in the outer periphery of PbSO_(4) to form a product layer,hindering the mass transfer process.Therefore,it is necessary to break the PbCO_(3) product layer.In this work,the rotor stator-reinforced reactor was selected as the enhanced desulfurization reactor for the purpose of breaking the PbCO_(3) product layer and promoting mass transfer.The breakage process of the PbCO_(3) product layer generated during the PbSO_(4) desulfurization was modeled.Computational fluid dynamics simulation to the rotation conditions was carried out to theoretically analyze the fluid flow characteristics of PbSO_(4) slurry and the wall shear stress affecting the breakage of PbCO_(3) product layer.By optimizing the rotation conditions,the distribution ratio of effective rotor wall shear stress range achieved 96.1%,and the stator wall shear stress range reached 99.15%under a rotation of 2000 r·min^(-1).The research work provides a reference for analysis of the mechanism of product layer breakage in the PbSO_(4) desulfurization process,and gives a clear and intuitive systematic study on the fluid flow characteristics and wall shear stress of the desulfurization reactor.

Encapsulation of ionic liquid, phosphotungstic acid inside the nanocages of MIL-101(Cr): Effective and reusable catalyst for efficient solvent-free oxidative desulfurization from fuel oil

Oxidative desulfurization from fuel oil is one of the important methods for deep desulfurization.The development of efficient oxidative desulfurization catalysts is crucial for improving the desulfurization performance.Successful encapsulation of phosphotungstic acid(HPW)and ionic liquid(BMImBr)inside the mesoporous cages of MIL-101(Cr)was accomplished through a combination of“bottle around ship”and“ship in bottle”methods.The obtained BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)composite was characterized by XRD,FTIR,BET,SEM,XPS and ICP methods.Results indicated that the BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)composites with PW^(3−) loading of 23.1–50.7 wt%were obtained,demonstrating that the“bottle around ship”method is beneficial to make full use of nanocages of MIL-101(Cr)to obtain expected high loading of active PW^(3−) .The BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)exhibits excellent reusability with no evidence of leaching of active PW^(3−) and BMIm^(+),and well-preserved structure after successive cycles of regeneration and reuse.The significantly improved stability of BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)as compared to HPW@MIL-101(Cr)is possibly because the leaching of the active PW^(3−) −sites can be greatly suppressed by forming large size of BMImPW owing to introduction of BMIm^(+)cation.The BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)exhibited excellent catalytic activity for solvent free oxidative desulfurization of refractory sulfides.The enhanced oxidative desulfurization activity as compared to HPW@MIL-101(Cr)can be explained by the intimate contact of sulfides with active PW^(3−) sites owing the strong attraction of BMIm^(+)cation with the sulfides.

New insights into the mechanism of reactive adsorption desulfurization on Ni/ZnO catalysts:Theoretical evidence showing the existence of interfacial sulfur transfer pathway and the essential role of hydrogen

As well known in the petroleum industry and academia,Ni/ZnO catalysts have excellent desulfurization performance.However,the sulfur transfer mechanism of reactive adsorption desulfurization(RADS)that occurs on Ni/ZnO catalysts remains controversial.Herein,a periodic Ni nanorod supported on ZnO slab was built to represent the Ni/ZnO system,and density functional theory calculations were performed to study the sulfur transfer process and the role of H_(2)within the process.The results elucidate that the direct solid-state diffusion of S from Ni to interfacial oxygen vacancies(Ov)is more favorable than the hydrogenation of S to SH/H_(2)S on Ni and the subsequent H_(2)S desorption,and accordingly,H_(2)O is produced on Ni rather than on ZnO.Ab initio thermodynamics analysis shows that the hydrogen atmosphere applied in preparing Ni/ZnO catalysts greatly promotes the O_(v)formation on ZnO surface,which accounts for the presence of interfacial O_(v)in freshly prepared catalysts.Under RADS condition,hydrogenation of interfacial O atoms to form O-H groups facilitates the reverse spillover of these lattice O atoms from ZnO to Ni,accompanied with the interfacial O_(v)generation.In contrast to the classic S transfer mechanism via H_(2)S,the present work clearly demonstrates that the interfacial S transfer is a feasible reaction pathway in the RADS mechanism.More importantly,the existence of interfacial O_(v)is an essential prerequisite for this interfacial S diffusion,and H_(2)plays a key role in facilitating the O_(v)formation.

Study on the in situ desulfurization and viscosity reduction of heavy oil over MoO_(3)–ZrO_(2)/HZSM-5 catalyst

Heavy oil is characterized by high viscosity.High viscosity makes it challenging to recover and transport.HZSM-5,MoO_(3)/HZSM-5,ZrO_(2)/HZSM-5 and MoO_(3)–ZrO_(2)/HZSM-5 catalysts were developed to promote in situ desulfurization and viscosity reduction of heavy oil.The physical and chemical properties of catalysts were characterized by XPS,XRD,TEM,NH3-TPD,etc.The effects of temperature,catalyst type and addition amount on viscosity and composition of heavy oil were evaluated.The results showed that the presence of MoO_(3)–ZrO_(2)/HZSM-5 nanoparticles during aquathermolysis could improve the oil quality by reducing the heavy fractions.It reduced viscosity by 82.56%after the reaction at 280℃ and catalyst addition of 1 wt%.The contents of resins and asphaltic in the oil samples were 5.69%lower than that in the crude oil.Sulfur content decreased from 1.45%to 1.03%.The concentration of H2S produced by the reaction was 2225 ppm.The contents of sulfur-containing functional groups sulfoxide and sulfone sulfur in the oil samples decreased by 19.92%after the catalytic reaction.The content of stable thiophene sulfur increased by 5.71%.This study provided a basis for understanding the mechanism of heavy oil desulfurization and viscosity reduction.

Fluoride Ion Adsorption Effect and Adsorption Mechanism of Self-Supported Adsorbent Materials Based on Desulfurization Gypsum-Aluminate Cement

The adsorption method has the advantages of low cost,high efficiency,and environmental friendliness in treating fluorinated wastewater,and the adsorbent material is the key.This study combines the inherent anion-exchange adsorption properties of layered double hydroxides(LDHs).Self-supported porous adsorbent materials loaded with AFm and AFt were prepared from a composite cementitious system consisting of calcium aluminate cement(CAC)and flue gas desulfurization gypsum(FGDG)by chemical foaming technique.The mineral composition of the adsorbent material was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and Scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Through the static adsorption experiment,the adsorption effect of the mineral composition of the adsorbent on fluoride ions was deeply analyzed,and the adsorption mechanism was revealed.XRD and SEM showed that the main hydration phases of the composite cementitious system consisting of CAC and FGDG are AFm,AFt,AH_(3),and CaSO_(4)·2H_(2)O.FGDG accelerates the hydration process of CAC and inhibits the transformation of AFt to AFm.The AFt content increased,and the AFm content decreased or even disappeared as the amount of FGDG increased.Static adsorption experiment results showed that AFm and AFt in adsorbent materials could significantly enhance the adsorption of fluoride ions.The adsorption of F^(−)in aqueous solution by PAG tends more towards monolayer adsorption with a theoretical maximum capacity of 108.70 mg/g and is similar to the measured value of 112.77 mg/g.
