The catalytic converters in automobiles can tolerate only trace amounts of sulfur impurities in fuels. Oil refiners use a hydrodesulfurization step to remove aliphatic sulfur compounds, but this process is less effective at removing aromatic sulfur species such as thiophene and its derivatives. Yang et al. (p. 79) show that zeolite molecular sieves containing copper or silver ions reduced the amount of sulfur impurities in a diesel fuel to 0.2 parts per million by weight, which a factor of 30 less than the fuel standard to be imposed in the United States in the next few years.
