All materials utilized in this study including cerium(III) nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO3)3⋅6H2O), ammonium monovanadate (NH4VO3), bismuth(III) nitrate (Bi5H9N4O22), graphite, hydrazine hydrate (N2H4⋅H2O) (80%), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), normal hexane (C6H14), and benzothiophene (BT) were purchased from Merck and Sigma-Aldrich companies, and used as-received with no further purification. Ultrasound was performed using an ultrasonic 12 mm diameter probe, operating at 20 kHz with an output power of 400 W cm−2 optimized with a calorimeter. XRD (X-ray Diffraction) patterns were analyzed by a Philips-X'PertPro device using Ni-filtered Cu Kα radiation. A Zeiss sigma300-HV device was used to record FESEM (field-emission scanning electron microscope) images. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis was performed with a Magna-IR device, a Nicolet 550 spectrometer with a resolution of 0.125 cm−1 in KBr tablets in the range of 400 to 4000 cm−1. EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) analysis was performed using a Philips XL30 x-ray scattering device. Reflectance spectrometry (DRS) analysis was performed by Shimadzu model UV3600Iplus. N2 adsorption/desorption (BET) analysis was performed by Belsorp mini x device. To measure the amount of sulfur, a sulfur analyzer in oil model Horiba-SLFA-20 was used.

All materials and chemical compounds used in this study including cerium nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO 3 ) 3 .6H 2 O), ammonium metavanadate (NH 4 VO 3 ), hydrazinium hydroxide (N 2 H 2 OH), nitric acid (HNO 3 (, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were purchased from Merck and all chemicals were pure. Bentonite as a natural mineral was obtained from Negin Powder Semnan Company (Iran). Distilled water was used during the experiment.
The crystal structure of the material was determined by XRD (X-ray diffraction) (D8-Advance, Bruker, Germany) using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5406 Å) in the 2θ range from 10 to 70°. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR, Magna-IR, spectrophotometer 550 Nicolet in KBr pellets ranging from 400 to 4000 cm -1 ) spectroscopy has been used to study the structure and chemical bonds of the molecule. FESEM (field-emission scanning electron microscope) images was recorded by MIRA3 FE-SEM. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption was done using Belsorp mini x device. BJH analysis was used to record the pore size distribution. The bandgap of the samples was determined using UV-visible diffuse reflection spectra (DRS) equipment (Shimadzu/UV3600Iplus).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
