Abstract
Authors present a general overview of microwave applications in petroleum oxidative desulfurization (ODS). In comparison with conventional heating technologies, milder reaction conditions could be used and higher ODS rate could be achieved under microwave treatment.
They also note that microwave power level, treatment time, temperature, oxidizing agent dosage, microwave equipment and catalyst are the key operating factors influencing the ODS efficiency. The main challenges are developing high efficiency, novel techniques and apparatuses to remove sulfur from oils in a commercial process.
