Fast heterogeneous oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene from ionic liquids supported urchin-liked meso-silica

摘要

As air pollution and green-house effect have caused numerous environmental problems in past decades, and increasing investigations have been focused on reducing the emission of harmful gas such as SOx. Oxidative desulfurization of fuel is considered as a promising method for its high efficiency and mild condition. Herein, ionic liquids supported urchin-liked meso-silica were facilely prepared and applied for heterogeneous oxidative desulfurization, which had a good dispersion of polyoxometalate ionic liquids. With the prepared materials, sulfur compounds can be efficiently removed. Moreover, the oxidation product was analyzed by GC-MS to further investigate reaction mechanism.
