A novel desulfurization process of gasoline via sodium metaborate electroreduction with pulse voltage using a boron-doped diamond thin film electrode

- NaBH4 was obtained via NaBO2 electroreduction with pulse voltage using BDD electrodes.
- The factors that influenced desulfurization efficiency were investigated.
- Possible desulfurization mechanism was proposed.
- Desulfurization kinetics showed a pseudo-first-order toward thiophene or benzothiophene.
- The novel gasoline desulfurization process under mild conditions was feasible.
