Abstract Very little work has been
done in the past on the use of microwave plasmas for the desulfurization
of oil products. This paper presents the measured desulfurization
levels on a diisopropyl disulfide oil solution
containing 5.2% by weight of sulfur. Complete desulfurization
was obtained, using either hydrogen or helium plasmas at atmospheric
pressures. The estimated cost to completely desulfurize
1 metric ton of oil containing 5.2% by weight of sulfur is about $20.00 by
the use of this new technology. |
