Abstract	Describes a study of the oxidative desulfurization of model gasoline consisting of thiophene dissolved in n-octane with a series of modified titanium silicalite (TS) catalysts in presence of hydrogen peroxide and formic acid systems. Researchers studied the reaction mechanism of the oxidative desulfurization of thiophene. Results revealed that the copper modified TS was an active catalyst for thiophene oxidation while the other metal modified TSs were less active catalysts.
