Fuel desulfurization is an appealing topic for the chemical industry since severe environmental regulations regarding SO2 emissions have been legislated in many countries. In order to reduce the amount of sulfur-containing compounds in fuels, responsible for high SOx emission levels, a green chemistry approach is compulsory. In this paper, vanadium salen and salophen complexes were used in the oxidation of a model aromatic sulfide, such as dibenzothiophene (DBT), in the presence of H2O2 as green oxidant. The oxidative process was successfully coupled with the extraction of the oxidized compounds by ionic liquids. The system resulted highly selective for sulfide oxidation, showing poor reactivity toward the oxidation of alkenes and allowing a significant reduction of S content in a model benzine. To note, the use of microwave in place of standard heating allowed to obtain 98% of DBT oxidation and almost complete sulfur extraction in the model fuel in 1000 s. For these reasons, this system was considered an easy, rapid and clean process to achieve fuel desulfurization.
