Activated Carbon Materials as Ideal Adsorbents for the Desulfurization of Fossil Fuels
Abstract: Removal of organosulfur compounds from diesel is of interest from scientific, social, economic, and environmental viewpoints. Production of clean fuel remains a primary goal of the petroleum refining industry. The reduction of sulfur content below stringent ppm levels in diesel fuels becomesincreasingly challenging due to the presence of sterically hindered sulfur compounds, such as 4,6- dialkyldibenzothiophenes, which are resistant to removal over conventional supported mixed sulfide hydrodesulfurization catalysts. Consequently, alternative …
