Abstrakt: In this work, the effect of ultrasound irradiation on the catalytic oxidative/adsorptive denitrogenation (COADN) of model hydrocarbon fuels (composed of pyrroleor indoleas an organonitrogen compounds dissolved in n-nonane) has been investigated using magnetic reduced graphene oxide supported with phosphomolybdic acid (PMo-Fe 3 O 4 /rGO) as a heterogeneous catalyst/adsorbent and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The synthesized PMo-Fe 3 O 4 /rGO nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, VSM and BET surface area analysis methods. Moreover, different experimental variables including catalyst dose, initial pyrrole/indoleconcentration, H 2 O 2 to pyrrole/indole molar ratio, ultrasound power and sonication time have been studied on the COADN process. The regeneration/recyclability of PMo-Fe 3 O 4 /rGO catalyst was also examined. Experimental results revealed that, the ultrasound treatment significantly improved the adsorption process of organonitrogen compounds from model fuels (q e increased by 50.3% for pyrrole and 18% for indole). Furthermore, high ultrasound-aided catalytic oxidative denitrogenation efficiency (85.6% for pyrrole and 90% for indole) has been attained under optimal conditions (ultrasonic power = 200 W, sonication time = 240 min, catalyst dose = 2 g/L, and H 2 O 2 :pyrrole/indole molar ratio = 5). The recyclability of catalyst displayed that the prepared catalyst can be reused five times without any significant reduction in its performance.
