Title: Synergistic effect of dual Brønsted acidic deep eutectic solvents for oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel

Abstract

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are generally used as attractive solvents or extractants rather than catalysts in the field of synthesis and separation. Herein, dual Brønsted acidic DESs were prepared by mixing sulfonated quaternary ammonium and oxalic acid as extractants and catalysts for deep oxidative desulfurization. Compared to the DESs with single acidic group, the dual acidic DESs exhibited much higher catalytic activity likely due to the synergistic effect. The 1H NMR study indicated that the weak interaction between DES and sulfur compounds led to a low extraction capacity. However, the sulfur removal could reach 97.7% under optimized reaction conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that sulfonic group and carboxylic group are of equal importance to desulfurization performance. Further, the desulfurization efficiency was also strongly affected by the viscosity of DESs. Here, we put forward a new strategy that the reaction time could be sharply shortened to 40 min and 100 min by adding low viscous acetonitrile and polyethylene glycol into DES to form mixing reaction system, respectively.
