Abstract: Photosensitized oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene(DBT) in n-octane/water extraction system was studied with riboflavin as photosensitizer and O2 in air as oxidant. A 15W UV lamp was used as the light source for irradiation and air was introduced by a gas pump for supplying O2. The result showed DBT was photooxidized successfully. The optimal reaction condition is, riboflavin concentration at 20mg/L and the air flow a t 80~100mL /min. Under optimal condition, the removal rario of DBT is up to 60% for 2 hours. Riboflavin sensitized DBT by 1O2 mechanism, the kinetics of photosensitized oxidation of DBT is fist-order.

Key words: riboflavin, dibenzothiophene, photooxidation
