Abstract \nHighlights In this study, optimization and statistical analysis of oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of an Iranian heavy crude oil (HCO) by applying ultrasonic waves were performed. The investigated HCO was from the West Paydar Field of Iran (sulfur: 38638 ppm, viscosity: 78.76 cSt (20 °C), API: 18.53). The process was performed in the presence of acetic acid (catalyst), hydrogen peroxide (oxidant), and copper sulfate (PTA, phase transfer agent). The studied parameters included power (10–15 W/ml), temperature (60–80 °C), PTA (0–1 wt%), and catalyst (4.8–19.2 wt%). The processing time was 10 min. Acetonitrile was an extraction solvent. The experimental design was performed based on Box Behnken design (BBD) and consisted of 27 experiments. RSM was applied to model the response and to investigate the effects of one factor, parameter interactions, and optimization. A quadratic polynomial equation was presented for the model of HCO sulfur reduction. Based on the results, power, PTA, and catalyst had significant effects on the response. The regression coefficient of 0.9273 indicated a good agreement between the experimental results and the model results. Optimization results showed that under optimal conditions including power: 14.63 w/ml, temperature: 72.47 °C, PTA: 0.79 wt%, and catalyst: 4.84 wt%, desulfurization was 45.10 wt%. Statistical analysis of UAOD process for heavy crude oil is done for the first time Independent variables are power, PTA, catalyst, temperature. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to model the response. The sulfur removal of Iranian heavy crude oil is the response. The predicted conditions agreed with the experimental values at optimum conditions.
