Activated Carbon-Based Adsorptive Desulphurization of Diesel for Ultra-Low Refractory Sulfur Fuel ProductionBy Indra Neel Pulidindi, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, Viswanathan Balasubramanian
Abstract: The problem of “Diesel desulphurization” needs no introduction. A successful attempt has been made to develop an adsorptive desulphurization process based on activated carbon materials as low cost, environmentally friendly and selective adsorbents for the highly stiff-necked Sulphur containing refractory molecules, namely, the dialkyl dibenxothiophenes (DADBT), especially, the 4, 6 dimethyl dibenzothiophene (4, 6 DMDBT). Removal of such refractory compounds is a major bottle-neck in the classical refinery operation, namely, …
