摘要

A new oscillatory central packed-bed baffled reactor (OCPBBR) was developed for continuous oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of sour heavy oil under mild conditions. Composite magnetic catalysts were prepared by loading MnO₂ on activated carbon and reinforcing it with 1–3 wt% Fe2O3, followed by an alumina coating to improve stability. ODS performance was evaluated using catalysts Cat-1 to Cat-5 across temperatures of 30–90 °C, oscillatory Reynolds numbers (73–1168), net flow Reynolds numbers (34.87–8.74), and velocity ratios (2.1–133.6). The highest sulfur removal (99.6%) was achieved with Cat-4 (5% MnO₂–3% Fe2O3/AC) at 90 °C, St = 0.103, Reₒ = 1168, and Reₙ = 8.74. Results show that optimizing oscillatory hydrodynamics and temperature significantly enhances mixing and reaction rates. COMSOL Multiphysics simulations were used to analyze flow behavior and determine kinetic parameters. The maximum rate constants at 90 °C and Reₙ = 34.87 were k = 0.26–0.37 min⁻1 across the catalyst series. The results demonstrate that optimized oscillatory hydrodynamics coupled with composite magnetic catalysts can significantly enhance oxidative desulfurization efficiency under the investigated operating conditions.
