AB  - Utilising cavitation for enhancing oxidative desulphurization has been 
      investigated for nearly-two decades with recent investigations shifting focus 
      from low-capacity acoustic cavitation (AC) to scalable hydrodynamic cavitation 
      (HC). This work focuses on developing a viable means for removing thiophene's 
      from fuels. In the first phase of this work, use of vortex based HC devices for 
      removal of single and dual ring thiophenes from dodecane was investigated. HC was 
      shown to be able to remove single ring thiophene from dodecane without using any 
      external catalyst or additives. However, in absence of catalyst or additives, it 
      was not possible to remove dual ring thiophenes such as dibenzothiophene using 
      HC. Therefore, in the second phase of this work, various strategies based on use 
      of catalyst or additives to augment cavitation based process were investigated. 
      AC based experiments were opted for shortlisting suitable catalysts and additives 
      for intensifying cavitation based processes. The influence of using oxidant 
      (H(2)O(2)) and carboxylic acid catalysts on efficacy of removal of dual ring 
      thiophenes is presented. Several conditions were tested, and the optimal 
      volumetric ratios of 0.95 v/v % H(2)O(2) and 6.25 v/v % HCOOH was identified and 
      utilised throughout the remainder of the study. Regeneration of extractant which 
      accumulates oxidised sulphur species from dodecane was also investigated using 
      AC. The additives and process conditions reported in this work are useful for 
      enhancing desulphurization performance.
