Ultrasound-Assisted Oxidative Desulfurization/Denitrification of Liquid Fuels with Solid Oxidants

Synthesis of 1-(isopentyloxy)-4-nitrobenzene under ultrasound assisted liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis

In this paper, we report the reaction of isoamyl alcohol and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene was carried out in a batch reactor under aqueous-organic biphasic conditions using the techniques like phase transfer catalysis and ultrasound irradiation. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) was employed as the phase transfer catalyst. The reaction is greatly enhanced by adding a small quantity of phase-transfer...

Solid liquid extraction of Jatropha seeds by microwave pretreatment and ultrasound assisted methods

Jatropha curcas has a variety of uses which are of great economic significance. Jatropha oil can be used as fuel alternative and for making biodiesel that is supposed to overcome the source limitation problem. In this study, conventional, ultrasound assisted and microwave pretreatment solid liquid extraction of Jatropha seed were studied in terms of amount and quality of the extracted oil. The ...

An Experimental Study on the Operating Parameters of Ultrasound-assisted Oxidative Desulfurization

In this research, the effects of important parameters, including the molar ratio of acetic acid to sulfur(S) , sonication time, temperature, and hydrogen the molar ratio of peroxide to sulfur on the performance of ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization were studied using the response surface method (RSM). To this end, a model fuel containing n-decane and dibenzothiophene at a concentrati...
