Abstract
Sulfur compounds need to be effectively rejected from fuel to maintain a clean environment. The removal of sulfur compounds from thiocompounds has received increased attention due to the negative environmental and industrial consequences of sulfur emissions. We examine the effectiveness of polyoxometalate (POM) ionic liquid-based nanocomposites as catalysts for the oxidative desulfurization of thiobenzoic acid and other sulfur-containing chemicals. Na-POMIL@NCP and Cr-POMIL@NCP were synthesized and thoroughly characterized using a variety of analytical techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV–visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fluorescence spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). POMIL-based nanocomposites with Fe3O4@SiO2 exhibit both catalytic activity and adsorption capability. To evaluate sulfur removal efficiency and investigate the transformation paths of the thio compounds, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed at 33 °C using a C18 column with an acetonitrile–water mobile phase (1:1 ratio). The catalytic conversion of thiobenzoic acid and dibenzothiophene occurs at temperature, oxidant O/S ratio and catalyst concentration were investigated to determine the best catalyst for a given process. Under moderate conditions, this work proposes a cost-effective and ecologically acceptable approach for thiobenzoic acid (TB) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) production employing H2O2 as an oxidant and Na-POMIL@NCP and Cr-POMIL@NCP as heterogeneous catalysts. They are highly effective for oxidizing sulfur compounds included in diesel to lower the sulfur levels of fuel. This study provides to the development of innovative materials for ecologically friendly sulfur removal applications.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
