In this study, ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization of benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene using ferrate and a phase transfer agent was investigated. The effects of ferrate concentration (100-300. ppm), phase transfer agent (100-300. mg), ultrasonication time (10-30. min), and organic to aq...
