Due to the dramatic environmental impact of sulfur oxides contained in engines emissions, sulfur content specification in fuels are becoming more and more stringent worldwide. Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is the conventional process to reduce sulfur levels if the fuels. However, HDS requires high temperature and high pressure in order to eliminate the sulfur species. Refractory sulfur species such as dibenzothiophene and its alkyl derivatives are less reactive to this process. Due to this reason, alternative sulfur removal methods are being explored.
