Oxidative Desulfurization of Hydrocarbon Feedstock Using Oxygen as Oxidizing Agent (a Review)

The paper presents a review of scientific research in the field of oxidative desulfurization of petroleum fractions with atmospheric oxygen (as an oxidizing agent) published over the past 15-20 years. A comparative analysis of various catalytic systems in this field has been carried out. Promising areas for the development of an effective catalytic system for oxidative desulfurization processes have been identified.
