In this study, an effective nanocatalyst NiFe2O4-PEG was successfully synthesized and applied in ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization for the first time. The characterization of the nanocatalyst was conducted using various analytical techniques, and central composite design was utilized to evaluate the effective variables in the UAOD process.
In this study, NiFe2O4-PEG, an effective nanocatalyst was synthesized via a hydrothermal method using different PEG concentrations and synthesis times. The synthesized nanocatalyst was used in the ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAOD) of model fuels (e.g. n-hexane and dibenzothiophene (DBT)) for the first time. The nanocatalyst was then characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM, VSM and TEM analyses. In addition, central composite design was used to evaluate the effective variables on the UAOD process. The optimal values of effective factors such as catalyst dose, oxidant amount, irradiation time and ultrasonic power to maximize of the percentage of sulfur removal were 0.149 g, 15 mL, 11.96 min, and 70 MHz, respectively. Moreover, the kinetic aspects of the oxidation reaction of DBT in the UAOD process were investigated using a pseudo-first-order model. Furthermore, using the Arrhenius equation, an activation energy of 35.86 kJ mol(-1) was obtained. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis showed that the oxidation reaction of DBT was endothermic with a positive Gibbs free of energy, indicating the non-spontaneity of oxidation of DBT in the UAOD process. Moreover, the conversion rate of DBT has increased from 57% at 35 degrees C to 85% at 65 degrees C.
