Evaluation of oxydesulfurization processes for coal. I. The effect of the Ames process on model organosulfur compounds. [At Ames oxydesulfurization conditions]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5722307
Using the assumption that it is sufficient to study a representative spectrum of organic sulfur compounds (used as models for such compounds in coal), various organic sulfur compounds were subjected to the Ames oxydesulfurization process conditions. Only thiophenol and compounds containing a benzylic sulfide linkage were oxidized to an appreciable extent. Thiphenol was converted to phenyl disulfide, which was resistant to further oxidation. Benzylphenyl sulfide was oxidized and cleaved to give benzaldehyde, benzoic acid and benzensulfonic acid; benzyl methyl sulfide gave similar results. The other compounds were unreactive under the Ames process conditions either by themselves or in the presence of coal. (LTN)
