The increasing global population and the rapid industrial development associated therewith have increased demand for fossil-derived fuel oils. sources of fossil fuels are limited, many studies been being conducted to find alternative sources. Waste tire pyrolysis oil (WTPO) attracts considerable attention as an because its properties similar those diesel oil. However, WTPO has a high sulfur con...

Because of the requirement for low sulfur content of fuel oils, it is necessary to develop alternative methods for desulfurization of heavy fuel oil. Due to the disadvantages of HDS technologies such as costs, safety and green environment, new methods have been developed. Among these methods is ultrasoundassisted oxidative desulfurization. Using ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization, co...

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...
