In various countries, strict rules are considered for reducing sulfur in the fuels. Oxidative desulfurization is known as one of the best complementary methods for the hydro-desulfurization. In this paper, using the response surface methodology, the effects of initial sulfur concentration in the naphtha fuel, reaction temperature, and reaction time on the sulfur conversion were investigated in the presence of zeolite supported zinc Oxide catalyst. Experiments were conducted at the conditions as follows: T=303.15-323.15 K, t=20-40 min, and initial sulfur concentration=150-250 ppm. Analysis of variance showed that the linear factorial model well fitted the experimental data. All the parameters as well as the interaction between reaction time and temperature affected the response, significantly. Maximum sulfur conversion of 90% was achieved at the temperature of 320 K, reaction time of 40 min, and initial sulfur concentration of 244 ppm.
