Abstract

In this work, a series of supported manganese catalyst has been synthesized and utilized in oxidative desulfurization to remove 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT), dibenzothiophene (DBT) and thiophene. The influences of catalyst parameters were investigated including manganese precursors, manganese loading and calcination temperature in details. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption/desorption and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. 90.2% of 4,6-DMDBT, 98.5% of DBT and 95.5% of thiophene conversion were achieved under mild operational conditions using 3Mn(NO3)2/Al2O3 at 500 °C calcination temperature. A slight decrease in desulfurization activity was observed after Mn/Al2O3 catalyst being used in five cycles ODS.
