Abstract
A study of the oxidative desulfurization of hydrogenation diesel using air as oxidant, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as radical initiator at ambient pressure and moderate temperature in the presence of isobutyl aldehyde is described.
TBHP could accelerate the production of carbonyl radical and its peroxidation. The sulfur content of the hydrogenation diesel could be reduced from 403 to 13 ppm (96.8% removed) under the synergistic effect of air, TBHP and isobutyl aldehyde.
