Exploratory Study on Ultrasonic Oxidation Desulfurization of Catalytic Cracking Diesel Oil
Sulfur was removed from diesel oil by using the ultrasonic oxidation process to reduce the sulfur content in diesel fuel. The effect of different oxidation temperature, oxidation time, oxidant dosage and catalyst dosage on diesel desulfurization were studied by experiments. Experimental results showed that using the formic acid mixture with sulfuric acid as catalyst, catalyst amount 2% (the volume ratio of formic acid and sulfuric acid in the catalyst was 3∶2), oxidant amount 9%, reaction temperature 70 ℃, reaction time 60 min, removing the sulfur in heavy oil catalytic cracking diesel oil by using ultrasonic oxidation, then through DMF extraction and oxidation, the diesel oil desulfurization rate could reach 83%, And cetane value was increasing, thus the quality of diesel oil was refined.
Preparation of Nickel Ferrite Composite Oxide with Combustion and Its Photocatalytic Application
In this paper, ascorbic acid as combustion agent, composite oxides of nickel ferrite were prepared by combustion method. The optimal molar ratio of ferric nitrate to nickel nitrate was determined by XRD. The UV absorbance properties of composite were analyzed by UV spectra. The morphology of composites was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic properties were studied using methylene blue as the degradation substrate and composite as catalyst. The experiment showed important effect of amount of catalyst, the pH value of the solution, the amount of hydrogen peroxide and irradiation time of the photocatalyst. The optimal photocatalytic condition is: dose of catalyst 20 mg, pH at 6, and hydrogen peroxide 6 mL. The results indicate that the nickel ferrite with molar ratio of nickel nitrate, ferric nitrateand ascorbic acid of 1:2:1 is photocatalytic effective under UV and visible light. Moreover, the nickel ferrite with molar ratio of nickel nitrate, ferric nitrateand ascorbic acid of 2:1:1 and 1:3:1 are photocatalytic effective under UV light.
