Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for desulfurization of heavy fuel oil using ferrate compounds by mixing fuel oil containing sulfur compounds with a solvent and forming a fuel oil solvent mixture, dissolving the sulfur compounds present in the fuel oil solvent mixture. Adding a liquid ferrate solution to the fuel oil solvent mixture produces oxidized sulfur compounds, in solution. An absorbing agent is added to remove the oxidized sulfur compounds from said solution.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1.
