Applications of Nanocatalysis in Petroleum Industry
Abstract: This review paper briefly discusses about the important applications of nanocatalysts in petroleum industries. The design of materials in nanometer form is one of the most researched topics in the contemporary world. Catalysts have been widely used in chemical reactions to accelerate the reaction rate and to allow facile removal of product molecules. With the advent and growth of nanotechnology, catalysts were synthesized in nanometer scale. Nanocatalysts exhibited unique properties …

Activated Carbon Materials as Ideal Adsorbents for the Desulfurization of Fossil Fuels
Abstract: Removal of organosulfur compounds from diesel is of interest from scientific, social, economic, and environmental viewpoints. Production of clean fuel remains a primary goal of the petroleum refining industry. The reduction of sulfur content below stringent ppm levels in diesel fuels becomesincreasingly challenging due to the presence of sterically hindered sulfur compounds, such as 4,6- dialkyldibenzothiophenes, which are resistant to removal over conventional supported mixed sulfide hydrodesulfurization catalysts. Consequently, alternative …

Ionic Liquids: Environmentally Benign Solvent for Extractive Deep-desulfurization of Liquid Fuels
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 In order to obtain the ultra-low sulfur fuels, deep desulfurization of fuels has become a vital subject of environmental studies. Extraction desulfurization system is one of the most promising desulfurization processes. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible use of Ionic liquids as an extractant for the removal of dibenzothiophene. Ionic Liquids as green solvents have recently been …

Removal of Thiophene from Model Fuel Using Titanium Catalyst
Abstract: Organosulfur compounds like thiophene (Th) and its alkyl derivatives are the major unwanted species present in crude oil fractions as they lead to the formation of sulfur oxides after combustion of the fuel and these oxides of sulfur cause severe environmental damage. Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process is considered as one of the best alternative deep desulfurization technologies compared to hydrodesulfurization. In the ODS process, the sulfur compounds are oxidized to …
