Molecular oxygen is an ideal oxidant in various reaction because it is cheap, easily available, and environmentally friendly. However, it is hard to be activated under atmosphere condition within a short reaction time. In this study, the organic molecular catalyst N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) was loaded on the surface of petroleum coke-based porous carbon (PC) via impregnation. Using cobalt acetate as a co-catalyst, the resulting NHPI/PC are demonstrated to be highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for aerobic oxidative desulfurization of model diesel oil. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the conversion rate of dibenzothiophene in the model oil could reach 100.0% in only 3 h. In addition, 4-methyldibenzothiophene and 4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene with greater steric hindrance can still reach 99.2% and 97.2% within 4 h. Due to the great adsorption of the catalyst to oxidative product, the sulfur content could decrease to 7 mg kg−1. In the free radical trapping experiment, superoxide radicals were detected by electron spin resonance. After adding p-benzoquinone, the conversion rate of DBT decreased from 100.0% to 3.0%, which further verified that superoxide free radical was the main active species. Reusability tests proved that the catalyst still had strong catalytic activity even after 9 cycles and might possess a good prospect of industrialization. In addition, the sulfur content in actual diesel oil could be decreased from 852 mg kg−1to 91 mg kg−1, which further indicated that the catalyst had a good prospect of industrial application.
