Effect of Preparation Method on Ag Modified Ti-HMS Catalyst Structure and Catalytic Oxidative Desulfurization Performance

Abstract Ag modified mesoporous molecular sieves Ti-HMS were prepared by in-situ synthesis (Ag/Ti-HMS-I), deposition-precipitation method (Ag/Ti-HMS-D) and ultrasound-assisted impregnation methods (Ag/Ti-HMS-U), respectively. The catalytic performance of catalysts in the oxidative desulfurization(ODS) of benzothiophene with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been investigated. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET and FT-IR techniques. Experimental results showed that the catalyst Ag/Ti-HMS-U exhibited the best catalytic activity, and this maybe because the catalyst possessed relatively good mesoporous structure and high Ag dispersion. Under the best operating condition for the catalytic oxidative desulfurization: temperature 60 °C, atmospheric pressure, 0.1 g catalysts, 8 molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to sulfur, using acetonitrile as extraction solvent for double extraction, the sulfur content in model diesel fuel (MDF) was reduced from 800 ppm to 17 ppm with 97.8% of total sulfur after 1 h.
