Synthesis of rhenium oxide nanoparticles and investigation of its application for removal of dibenzothiophene

Dibenzothiophene (DBT) is a hazardous pollutant in the oil industry that cannot be removed by hydrodesulfurization. In this study, the removal of DBT was investigated using the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) method. Rhenium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized chemically from molybdenum oxide dust, and their structure was confirmed by XRD, SEM, and XRF analyses. The synthesized nanoparticles, with a size of ۴۰.۹ nm, were employed in a sonocatalytic process to remove DBT. Under optimal conditions, ۱۳ mg of rhenium oxide nanoparticles removed more than ۹۵% of DBT with a concentration of ۴۰ μg/mL. These results demonstrate the high efficiency of the synthesized nanoparticles in the sonocatalytic removal of DBT.
