Synthesis and characterization of PMoV/Fe3O4/g-C3N4 from melamine: An industrial green nanocatalyst for deep oxidative desulfurization

H5PMo10V2O40 was supported on a Fe3O4/g-C3N4 magnetic support to produce a PMoV/Fe3O4/g-C3N4 nanocomposite. This catalyst was characterized and used for selective oxidative desulfurization of sulfides. Oxidation of dibenzothiophene-containing model oils and real oil was also studied under optimized reaction conditions. Moreover, the effects of various nitrogen-containing compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons on dibenzothiophene removal were investigated.
