Aerobic Oxidative Desulfurization of Petroleum Refinery Products Using Biogenic Zn2MnO4 Dendritic Fibrous.

Cutting off refractory organosulfur compounds is an immense need in the modern age of petroleum refineries. The oxidation of these hard organosulfur compounds is dynamic in the course of deep oxidative desulfurization. Atmospheric molecular oxygen is an organic, innocuous, abundant, and economical oxidant. Microorganisms synthesize dendritic fibrous nanoparticles (DFNPs) in exposure to metal ions. In this research, microorganisms were used to produce Zn2MnO4 DFNPs in a biological process instead of a chemical method as a nanocatalyst. This biogenic nanoparticle has been used for the first time as a recyclable catalyst with external magnet and efficient in desulfurization process under environmentally friendly conditions with support of oxygen green oxidant, at atmospheric pressure, at low temperature, green water extraction agent, Distilled with the help of ultrasound as a source of green energy in a shorter time. This strategy has marvelous profits, including high economic yield and tolerance of functional groups. The present study underscores how metabolic processes in anaerobic bacteria could be mixed with green chemical technologies to generate extremely efficient catalytic reactions for ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization of simulated fuel, natural gasoline, and sulfur mustard analogs.
