Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Three Classes of Sulfur Compounds in Crude Oil

Owing to the environmental hazards arising from sulfur‐containing combustion products, strong legal regulations exist to reduce the sulfur content of transportation fuels down to a few ppm. With the ongoing depletion of low‐sulfur crude oil reservoirs, increased technological efforts are needed for crude oil refining to meet these requirements. The desulfurization step is a critical part of the refining process but partly suffers from the recalcitrance of certain species to sulfur removal and the inability to quantitatively understand the behavior of individual compound classes during the process. We herein present a new and simple approach for the parallel quantification of three different classes of sulfur species present in crude oils by LC separation and on‐line detection and quantification by ICP‐MS/MS. This approach will help to estimate the amount of recalcitrant species and thus facilitate the optimization of desulfurization conditions during fuel production.     

Effect of binder on the properties of iron oxide sorbent for hot gas desulfurization

The most difficult problem in hot gas desulfurization in Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is the pulverization of sulfur removal sorbents. Appropriate binders for hot gas sulfur removal sorbents can solve the pulverization problem. In this paper, six sorbents with binders of different argillaceous minerals were prepared by mechanical mixing method. Desulfurization behavior for hot gas desulfurization sorbents was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor. Result showed that sorbent NTKW2 with binder of clay had a better sulfidation performance. NTKW2 had a more stable performance than other sorbents in the continuous sulfidation-regeneration cycles. Sulfur capacity of sorbent remained the same in each cycle. The desulfurization efficiency and mechanical strength of NTKW2 were the best among the tested sorbents. The behavior of NTKW2 at different temperatures showed different performances, and the best reaction temperature was 550 ℃. Higher heat stability, sulfur capacity and desulfurization efficiency were found on NTKW2 in six continuous sulfidation-regeneration cycles.     

Adsorption desulfurization performance and mechanism over nanocrystalline NiO/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-1 adsorbent

Desulfurization performance was evaluated by an adsorption model or real oil (diesel and kerosene) at low temperature using nanocrystalline NiO/Al₂O₃-1 adsorbent in static equipment. The properties of the NiO/Al₂O₃ adsorbent samples were characterized by BET surface areas, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR spectra, and TG-DTG curves. Desulfurization experimental results indicated that the desulfurization efficiency for kerosene is much higher than that for diesel due to the π-electronic interaction and S–M bonds with NiO/Al₂O₃-1 adsorbent. Also, a performance of adsorbent regeneration was kept well for multiple cycles.     

Preparation of cerium-loaded Y-zeolites for removal of organic sulfur compounds from hydrodesulfurizated gasoline and diesel oil

Ce(IV)-loaded Y-zeolites (CeY) were prepared for selective removal of the trace amount of organic sulfur compounds from hydrodesulfurization (HDS)-treated diesel oil. The CeY samples can be obtained from NH4-Y-zeolite (NH4Y) using liquid-phase ion-exchange and solid-state ion-exchange methods. The ion-exchange reactions, structures, and selective adsorptions of organic sulfur compounds of the CeY samples were investigated using XRD, IR, XPS, TEM, and GC sulfur analyzer. The organic sulfur compound uptakes strongly depend on the amount and the valency of Ce in the zeolite structure. Ce(IV) shows much higher adsorptive ability than Ce(III). A CeY-S sample prepared by solid-state ion-exchange reaction of NH4Y and Ce(NO3)3 with Ce/NH4 mole ratio of 0.63 at 250 degrees C showed a maximum sulfur uptake from a model solution of HDS-treated gasoline containing thiophene [S = 5 ppm (ppm = mg/L)]. A desulfurization from a HDS-treated diesel oil containing organic sulfur compounds (S = 1.87 ppm) and H2S (S = 0.73 ppm) was investigated with a combination of the CeY-S and a CuO adsorbent for removal of H2S by a batch method. The sulfur content was reduced to below 0.01 ppm for the first time. This method provides a promising desulfurization process to prepare a clean fuel for fuel cells.     

Coal bioprocessing research at the institute of gas technology

Coal bioprocessing research at the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) has included solubilization, gasification, desulfurization, denitrogenation, production of specialty chemicals, and the remediation of organic and inorganic wastes associated with coal utilization. Currently, research is focused on desulfurization and remediation. Desulfurization research concerns the development of processes to remove organic sulfur or to convert a portion of pyritic sulfur to sulfuric acid rapidly, thereby serving as a pretreatment to aid the thermochemical conversion of coal to coke and liquid products. The removal of as much as 91% organic sulfur from coal has been achieved, and biodesulfurization of coal has been confirmed by seven analytical techniques performed in six different laboratories. Recent studies have involved the use of molecular genetics to develop strains of bacteria with higher levels of desulfurization activity, and the development of methods for the preparation, storage, and utilization of biodesulfurization catalysts. Remediation studies include the development ofin situ and on-site technologies to treat soil contaminated with coal tar, the leaching of metals from fly ash, and the treatment of waste water resulting from fly ash leaching or from acidic mine drainage (AMD). IGT currently has two projects in EPA’s SITE program concerned with the remediation of coal tar-contaminated soil, and other related technologies are being developed. Efficient laboratory-scale processes for the removal of metals from fly ash and from soil so that the solids pass EPA’s TCLP test, and the subsequent treatment of the leachates or AMD to meet all regulatory requirements have been developed. Data obtained in these projects are presented in particular, and a general discussion of the application of biotechnology to coal is offered.

Comparison of batchstirred and electrospray reactors for biodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene in crude oil and hydrocarbon feedstocks

Biological removal of organic sulfur from petroleum feedstocks offers an attractive alternative to conventional thermochemical treatment, because of the mild operating conditions afforded by the biocatalyst. In order for biodesulfurization to realize commercial success, reactors must be designed that allow for sufficient liquid-liquid and gas-liquid mass transfer, while simultaneously reducing operating costs. Electro-spray bioreactors were investigated for use as desulfurization reactors because of their reported operational cost savings relative to mechanically agitated reactors. Unlike batch-stirred reactors, which mix the biocatalystcontaining aqueous phase with the organic feedstock by imparting momentum to the entire bulk solution, electro-spray reactors have the potential for tremendous cost savings, creating an emulsion <5 (μm in diameter, at a cost of only 3 W/L. Power law relationships indicate that mechanically stirred reactors would require 100-1000-fold more energy to create such a fine emulsion, but these relationships generally do not account for the effect of endogenously produced surfactant in the system. Here, the rates dibenzothiophene (DBT) oxidation to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) in hexadecane, byRhodococcus sp IGTS8 are compared in the two reactor systems. Desulfurization rates ranged from 1.0 to 5.0 mg 2-HBP/(dry g cells · h), independent of the reactor employed. The batch-stirred reactor was capable of forming a very fine emulsion in the presence of the biocatalyst IGTS8, similar to that formed in the emulsion phase contactor (EP^TM), presumably because the biocatalyst produces its own surfactant. Although EPC did not prove to be advantageous for the IGTS8 desulfurization system, it may prove advantageous for systems that do not produce surface-active bioagents, in addition to being mass-transport limited.     

Unusual Regenerable Porous Metal–Organic Framework Based on a New Triple Helical Molecular Necklace for Separating Organosulfur Compounds

Desulfurization of fuels is receiving more and more attention all over the world due to the increase of stringent environmental regulations and fuel specifications. The metal–organic framework (MOF) is a new class of crystalline materials, and high porosity, one of the most important properties of MOFs, plays a central role in the functional properties. However, the investigation of MOFs, being employed as sorbents for adsorptive desulfurization, is still scarce. In this regard, we have constructed a new 3D porous compound 1 by using rigidly designed carboxylate ligands, which, for the first time, exhibit an unusual triple molecular necklace‐like helix. The N₂ sorption isotherms of 1 show that it has a large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and pore volume. With the stable pore structure and appropriate pore sizes, compound 1 has been used as a sorbent for adsorptive desulfurization. The results indicate that compound 1 shows an excellent adsorption property and, more importantly, displays excellent stability, repeatability, and regenerability. Thus, the design and synthesis of targeted MOFs with appropriate pore size and increased interactions between organosulfur compounds and ligands/metals from MOFs is crucial for adsorptive desulfurization, which might be an effective guide to find an efficient and green adsorbent for desulfurization.

Chicken and duck eggshell beads modified with iron (III) oxide-hydroxide and zinc oxide for reactive blue 4 dye removal

Releasing contaminated dyes into water bodies might create environmental problems for water quality and toxic aquatic organisms. The toxicity of dyes might affect human health throughout the food chain, so it is necessary to treat contaminated dye in wastewater before discharging it into the water body. Chicken eggshell beads (CB), duck eggshell beads (DB), chicken eggshell beads mixed iron (III) oxide-hydroxide (CBF), duck eggshell beads mixed iron (III) oxide-hydroxide (DBF), chicken eggshell beads mixed zinc oxide (CBZ), and duck eggshell beads mixed zinc oxide (DBZ) were synthesized, and several characterized techniques of XRD, FESEM-FIB, EDX, and FTIR were used to identify the crystalline structure, surface morphology, and chemical composition and functional groups. Reactive blue 4 (RB4) dye removal efficiencies on dye adsorbent materials were investigated through batch experiments with varying doses, contact time, temperature, pH, and concentration. Their adsorption patterns and mechanisms also were studied by adsorption isotherm and kinetics. All dye adsorbent materials demonstrated semi-crystalline structures, and their surface morphologies had a spherical shape with coarse surfaces. Oxygen, carbon, calcium, chlorine, and sodium and four main function groups of OH, NH, CO, and COC were detected in all dye adsorbent materials. For batch tests, they could remove RB4 dye by more than 56%, and CBF represented the highest RB4 dye removal efficiency at 84.44%. Moreover, the addition of iron (III) oxide-hydroxide and zinc oxide helped to improve RB4 dye adsorbent efficiencies which an iron (III) oxide-hydroxide increased RB4 removal efficiency of chicken and duck eggshell beads more than zinc oxide. Their adsorption patterns and mechanisms were well explained by Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Therefore, all dye adsorbent materials especially CBF are potential dye adsorbent materials for further industrial applications.     

Ni含量对负载型NiO/ZnO-TiO2吸附剂结构及吸附脱硫性能的影响

以ZnO-TiO₂为载体,采用等体积浸渍法制备了不同Ni含量的NiO/ZnO-TiO₂汽油脱硫吸附剂。采用X射线衍射（XRD）、压汞、H₂程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）和H₂程序升温脱附（H₂-TPD）等手段对吸附剂进行了表征。同时,采用FCC轻汽油为原料,在固定床反应装置中对不同Ni含量的NiO/ZnO-TiO₂吸附剂进行脱硫性能评价,以考察Ni含量对该吸附剂脱硫性能的影响。结果表明,Ni含量适量增加对于吸附剂比表面积、内部孔道分布和颗粒强度影响较小,同时能够增加具有脱硫活性的Ni⁰物种,促进吸附剂脱硫活性。当吸附剂中Ni质量分数达到5.48%后,吸附剂的内部孔道分布改变,吸附剂的比表面积和颗粒强度明显降低,对吸附剂脱硫活性极为不利。当Ni质量分数为4.45%时,吸附剂具有最佳脱硫性能,能够将FCC轻汽油中3×10^-4的总硫含量降低至5×10^-6以下,并维持脱硫时间达152 h,穿透硫容达11.24%（112.4 mg S/g吸附剂）,且脱硫后FCC轻汽油烯烃含量变化较小。

采用液相离子交换(LPIE)法制备了CeY分子筛,并研究烯烃和芳烃对其吸附脱硫性能的影响. 利用固定床穿透曲线技术研究吸附剂的脱硫性能,结果表明：烯烃和芳烃的存在均导致吸附剂吸附硫容量减少,然而,烯烃的影响明显强于芳烃. 采用原位傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱技术研究噻吩、环己烯和苯的吸附行为,结果发现：烯烃和芳烃降低吸附剂脱硫性能的实质分别为吸附剂表面酸性导致的酸催化反应和π-络合吸附的芳烃分子与硫化物分子的竞争吸附. 另外,烯烃的影响取决于吸附剂的表面酸性,尤其是强B酸(Brönsted 酸)中心.这是由于B酸中心会导致烯烃和噻吩发生质子化反应,且质子化物种易于进一步发生低聚反应. 生成的低聚物覆盖吸附活性中心导致吸附剂对其它噻吩分子的吸附能力降低.     

MOFs for desulfurization of fuel oil: Recent advances and future insights

Nowadays, desulfurization of fuel oil has raised concern globally because of strict industrial and environmental legislations. Albeit hydrodesulfurization (HDS) has been extensively used in oil refineries to produce low sulfur oil (< 10 ppm) but not been proven as effective method for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (TH) and their derivatives. Subsequently, adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) and oxidative desulfurization (ODS) methods have been developed to achieve high removal efficiency. In the past decade, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and its composites as oxidative catalysts, as well as adsorbents, have attracted the researchers owing to high surface area, tunable properties, and reusable. The present review comprises use of MOFs and their composites for the removal of sulfur from fuel oil via ODS and ADS processes. Additionally, physicochemical properties of MOFs, mechanism, pros and cons of both process, regeneration, and future challenges have been discussed briefly. Moreover, current limitations and future prospective are also discussed.
