Secondly, its high rate of oxygen transfer indicates that it has many potential uses; for example, it is applicable to the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, which can produce a 99 percent yield of pure sulfone. Thirdly, the new catalyst is recyclable—the present study showed that BaRuO3 could be reused at least three times without loss of performance.
