Decomposition of Benzothiophene, Dibenzothiophene, and Their Derivatives in Subcritical and Supercritical Water with Alkali
Open accessAbstract
Hydrothermal decomposition of thiophene derivatives in subcritical and supercritical water with alkali was studied to enhance desulfurization using a new on-site upgrading technology. Benzothiophene, dibenzothiophene, and derivatives (BTs and DBTs) can be decomposed by hydrothermal reaction with alkali in a temperature region where thermal decomposition is difficult. The ease of decomposition is influenced by the type and concentration of the alkali solution. Decomposition in KOH solution is the most complete, and occurs at a certain alkali concentration. The reaction is sensitive to the pressure in supercritical water. Moreover, the reaction products of hydrothermal decomposition obtained in the present study differ to those by the hydrodesulfurization method (HDS) previously reported by other researchers. These results suggest that the mechanisms of decomposition are different and hydrothermal decomposition is preceded by ionic reaction. The ease of decomposition of BTs and DBTs is influenced by the molecular structure, similar to the trends seen in HDS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
