Desulfurization mechanism of FCC gasoline: A review

Abstract

This paper reviews the most important developments on the desulfurization mechanism of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) gasoline. First, the origin of sulfur compounds in FCC gasoline and the current developed desulfurization approaches and technologies are briefly introduced, and then the researches on desulfurization mechanism are summarized from experimental and theoretical perspectives. Further researches on the desulfurization mechanism will lay a foundation for optimizing desulfurization sorbents and technologies.
