Abstract

Sulfur content in Indonesian diesel fuel is still very high, so it needs to be reduced to meet international regulations and improve the efficiency of diesel engines. This paper aims to reduce sulfur content on the fuel using Oxidative Desulfurization (ODS) method. Hydrogen peroxide was used as an oxidant with various heterogeneous catalysts in the ODS process. There are 3 heterogeneous catalysts used in this work, namely activated carbon-formic acid, Co-Fe/γ-Al2O3 and MoO3/γ-Al2O3. These three catalysts have been used in other studies and succeeded in significantly reducing sulfur content in various diesel models. The ODS reaction was carried out using a batch stirring reactor under several reaction conditions and followed by centrifugation to separate the diesel and the oxidated sulfur compounds. As the results, Co-Fe/γ-Al2O3 catalysts gave the highest percentage of 9.8% desulfurization with reaction conditions of 5 g catalyst, the molar ratio of H2O2 to sulfur = 120, and 25 mL of Biosolar.
