Abstract
Oxidative desulfurization of thiophene by phase transfer catalysis has been investigated with hydrogen peroxideformic acid as the oxidant, thiophene in nheptane as model compound of light oil. It was shown that the desulfurization rate of thiophene was 86.36%, under the conditions of water/oil ratio being 1∶1, after1.5h at temperature of 45℃ by TBAB. From the kinetics investigation, it was shown that when the model compound was oxidized by hydrogen peroxideformic acid with TBAB as phase transfer catalyst, the reaction was pseudo firstorder reaction with rate constants of K30℃=0.6152h-1, K40℃=1.2672h-1, and K50℃=0.8581h-1. The essential process of catalytic oxidation is the transfer of oxidizing active ingredients RCOOO- from water phase to oil phase by Q+, and the cycling models of oxidative desulfurization of thiophene by phase transfer catalysis(Q+X-) is builted.
