Lindqvist@Nanoporous MOF-Based Catalyst for Effective Desulfurization of Fuels.

ABSTRACT: An effective and sustainable oxidative desulfurization process for treating a multicomponent model fuel was successfully developed using as a heterogeneous catalyst a composite material containing as an active center the europium Lindqvist [Eu(W₅O₁₈)₂]^9- (abbreviated as EuW₁₀) encapsulated into the nanoporous ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework) support. The EuW₁₀@ZIF-8 composite was obtained through an impregnation procedure, and its successful preparation was confirmed by various characterization techniques (FT-IR, XRD, SEM/EDS, ICP-OES). The catalytic activity of the composite and the isolated EuW₁₀ was evaluated in the desulfurization of a multicomponent model fuel containing dibenzothiophene derivatives (DB
