Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of Azeri crude oil was studied under the electric field.By means of orthogonal experiments,the optimum conditions for desulfurization of crude oil were identified,while the effect of oxidative desulfurization under the electric field was compared with that of the single oxidative desulfurization method.The test results showed that the desulfurization reaction taking place under the electric field would be better than the traditional method.The desulfurization rate of crude oil could reach up to 77.06% at 115 ℃ at a distilled water amount of 10 m%,a desulfurizer dosage of 200 μg/g,and a demulsifier dosage of 50 μg/g.
