Significance
Authors present a novel method for ultra-deep desulfurization of diesel fuel, in which the original fuel is treated by light irradiation before adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) over the TiO2–CeO2/MCM-48 adsorbent under ambient conditions.
The method is able to produce a superior capacity 32 times higher than that of the original fuel. The promoting effect of light irradiation is likely through in situ peroxides generation in fuel under visible light/sunlight, which may oxidize organosulfur to form strongly adsorbed sulfones over the adsorbent.
