Abstract
According to results of an investigation of polymer resin as catalyst in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process, the method can be used to produce a relatively high removal of sulfur compounds.
The reaction conditions, including temperature, amount of oxidant and reaction time were studied. The best result occurs under mild conditions with respect to room temperature and atmospheric pressure.  Under thise conditions it is possible to remove 75.54% of the totle sulfur content in the presence of H2O2 with an O/S molar ratio of 17. Possible mechanism is also disscussed.
