Abstract
In recent years, due to the rapid growth of mankind's demand for energy, harmful gases (SOx) produced by the combustion of sulfur-containing compounds in fuel oil have caused serious problems to the ecological environment and human health. Therefore, in order to solve this hidden danger from the source, countries around the world have created increasingly strict standards for the sulfur content in fuel. Adsorption desulfurization technology has attracted wide attention due to its advantages of energy saving and low operating cost. This paper reviewed the latest research progress on various porous adsorption materials. The future challenges and research directions of adsorption materials to meet the needs of clean fuels are proposed.

Abstract
Biodesulfurization is a biotechnological process that uses microorganisms as biocatalysts to actively remove sulfur from fuels. It has the potential to be cleaner and more efficient than the current industrial process, however several bottlenecks have prevented its implementation. Additionally, most works propose models based on direct cultivation on fuel, or batch production of biocatalysts followed by a processing step before application to batch biodesulfurization, which are difficult to replicate at a larger scale. Thus, there is a need for a model that can be adapted to a refining process, where fuel is being continuously produced to meet consumer needs. The main goal of this work was to develop the first bench-scale continuous biodesulfurization system that integrates biocatalyst production, biodesulfurization and fuel separation, into a single continuous process, taking advantage of the method for the continuous production of the biodesulfurization biocatalysts previously established. This system eliminates the need to process the biocatalysts and facilitates fuel separation, while mitigating some of the process bottlenecks. First, using the bacterium Gordonia alkanivorans strain 1B, continuous culture conditions were optimized to double biocatalyst production, and the produced biocatalysts were applied in batch biphasic biodesulfurization assays for a better understanding of the influence of different factors. Then, the novel integrated system was developed and evaluated using a model fuel (n-heptane + dibenzothiophene) in continuous biodesulfurization assays. With this system strain 1B surpassed its highest biodesulfurization rate, reaching 21 μmol h-1 g-1. Furthermore, by testing a recalcitrant model fuel, composed of n-heptane with dibenzothiophene and three alkylated derivatives (with 109 ppm of sulfur), 72% biodesulfurization was achieved by repeatedly passing the same fuel through the system, maintaining a constant response throughout sequential biodesulfurization cycles. Lastly, the system was also tested with real fuels (used tire/plastic pyrolysis oil; sweet and sour crude oils), revealing increased desulfurization activity. These results highlight the potential of the continuous biodesulfurization system to accelerate the transition from bench to commercial scale, contributing to the development of biodesulfurization biorefineries, centered on the valorization of sulfur-rich residues/biomasses for energy production.

Abstract
A type-III porous liquid based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and an ionic liquid trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([THTDP][BTI]) was synthesized and used for the desulfurization of model diesel. The desulfurization effect by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] combined both the adsorptive desulfurization by ZIF-8 and the extraction desulfurization by [THTDP][BTI]. The removal of the three chosen aromatic organic sulfides by the ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] porous liquid followed the order of dibenzothiophene (73.1%) > benzothiophene (70.0%) > thiophene (61.5%). It was further found that deep desulfurization could be realized by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] through triple desulfurization cycles and ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] can be regenerated readily. The desulfurization mechanism was explored further in detail by conformation search and density functional theory calculations. Calculations supported that the large molecular volume of [THTDP][BTI] excluded itself from the cavities of ZIF-8, making the pores of ZIF-8 in the porous liquid unoccupied and accessible by other guest species, here the studied organic sulfides. These calculations indicate that the van der Waals interactions were the main interactions between ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] and specifically benzothiophene. This work supports that the porous liquid ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] could potentially be used for desulfurization of diesel in industry.

Abstract
Heterogeneous noble metal catalysts exhibit various functions. Although their redox functions have been extensively studied, we focused on their soft Lewis acid functions. Supported Au, Pt, and Pd catalysts electrophilically attack the π-electrons of soft bases such as alkynes, alkenes, and aromatic compounds to perform addition and substitution reactions. Hydroamination, intramolecular cyclization of alkynyl carboxylic acids, isomerization of allylic esters, vinyl exchange reactions, Wacker oxidation, and oxidative homocoupling of aromatics are introduced based on a discussion of the active species and reaction mechanisms. Furthermore, the adsorption of sulfur compounds, which are soft bases, onto the supported AuNPs is discussed. The adsorption and removal of 1,3-dimethyltrisulfane (DMTS), which is the compound responsible for the stale odor of "hine-ka" in alcoholic beverages, particularly Japanese sake, is described.

Abstract
A sustainable management of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to synthesize a series of high surface area (SABET of 563-1553 m2 g-1) microporous polymeric adsorbents is reported. The products with high yield (>90%) were obtained within only 30 min at a low temperature of 50 °C using a microwave-assisted approach with 400 W microwave power followed by 30 min of ageing by raising the temperature to 80 °C. The synthesized adsorbents are used for removing another category of carcinogenic pollutants i.e., polycyclic aromatic sulphur heterocycles (PASHs) from model and real fuels. Adsorptive desulphurization experiment in batch mode could reduce the sulphur from high concentrated model (100 ppm) and real (102 ppm) fuels to 8 ppm and 45 ppm respectively. Similarly, desulphurization of model and real fuels with ultralow sulphur concentrations of 10 and 9 ppm, respectively, reduced the final concentration of sulphur to 0.2 and 3 ppm, respectively. Adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies have been conducted using batch mode experiments. Adsorptive desulphurization using fixed bed column studies show the breakthrough capacities of 18.6 and 8.2 mgS g-1, for the same high concentrated model and real fuels, respectively. The breakthrough capacities of 1.1 and 0.6 mgS g-1 are estimated for the ultralow sulphur model and real fuels, respectively. The adsorption mechanism, based on the spectroscopic analysis (FTIR and XPS) demonstrates the role of π-π interactions between the adsorbate and adsorbent. The adsorptive desulphurization studies of model and real fuels from batch to fixed bed column mode would offer an in-depth understanding to demonstrate the lab-scale findings for industrial applications. Thus, the present sustainable strategy could manage two classes of carcinogenic petrochemical pollutants, PAHs and PASHs, simultaneously.

Abstract
Environmental regulatory agencies have implemented stringent restrictions on the permissible levels of sulfur compounds in fuel to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality. Problematically, traditional desulfurization methods have shown low effectiveness in the removal of refractory sulfur compounds, e.g., thiophene (TS), dibenzothiophene (DBT), and 4-methyldibenzothiophene (MDBT). In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and free energy perturbation (FEP) have been applied to investigate the use of ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as efficient TS/DBT/MDBT extractants. For the IL simulations, the selected cation was 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [BMIM] and the anions included chloride [Cl], thiocyanate [SCN], tetrafluoroborate [BF4], hexafluorophosphate [PF6], and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [NTf2]. The DESs were composed of choline chloride with ethylene glycol (CCEtg) or with glycerol (CCGly). Calculation of excess chemical potentials predicted the ILs to be more promising extractants with energies lower by 1-3 kcal/mol compared to DESs. Increasing IL anion size was positively correlated to enhanced solvation of S-compounds, which was influenced by energetically dominant solute-anion interactions and favorable solute-[BMIM] π-π stacking. For the DESs, the solvent components offered a range of synergistic, yet comparatively weaker, electrostatic interactions that included hydrogen bonding and cation-π interactions. An in-depth analysis of the structure of IL and DES systems is presented, along with a discussion of the critical factors behind experimental trends of S-compound extraction efficiency.
