The application discloses an oxidative desulfurization catalyst, which is a litchi shell
activated carbon loaded with
phosphomolybdic acid; the litchi shell
activated carbon is prepared by activating litchi shell carbon. The
phosphomolybdic acid is loaded on the litchi shell
activated carbon carrier, which not only combines with the
oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the litchi shell activated carbon, but also disperses the HPMo on the surface of the litchi shell activated carbon carrier, so that more HPMo acid centers are provided for the oxidation reaction, and the catalytic oxidative desulfurization activity is good. The oxidative desulfurization catalyst is prepared by the impregnation method, the
phosphomolybdic acid is easy to be loaded on the surface of the litchi shell activated carbon, and the
Keggin structure of the phosphomolybdic acid is not destroyed, that is, the HPMo molecules with the complete
Keggin structure exist on the catalyst, the Mo(VI) sites of the HPMo molecules can interact with the oxidant
hydrogen peroxide to produce active free radical species, so that the desulfurization efficiency is effectively improved.
