This study focuses on the application of nanostructured Mg-Al layered double hydroxide as a promising adsorbent in desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, an aromatic sulfur bearing compound from gasoil model. The Mg-Al LDH was synthesized by a co-precipitation method and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDX and SEM. The XRD and FT-IR approved the layered structure and crystalline form of the adsorben...

large reserves of coal in tabas region of iran are characterized by low ash and high caking index, suitable for use in metallurgy as coking coal. however, these coals cannot be gainfully utilized because of their high sulfur content. in this work, studies on desulfurization of tabas coals were carried out in a batch reactor using various reagents. the most effective reagents, fe2(so4)3 , fecl3 ...

Wettability is an important factor affecting the performance of catalytic oxidative desulfurization. In order to develop efficient catalyst for extractive coupled desulfurization (ECODS) fuel oil by H2O2 and acetonitrile, a novel family imidazole-based polyoxometalate dicationic ionic liquids (POM-DILs) [Cn(MIM)2]PW12O40 (n = 2, 4, 6) was synthesized modifying phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40) w...

    Combustion of sulfur components of fossil fuels such as oil causes the emission of SO2 in the atmosphere and lead to the formation of acidic rain in the environment. The conventional approach for desulfurization of fossil fuels is the chemical procedure of hydrodesulfurization (HDS). However, this method has low efficiency for desulfurization of ring components of sulfur such as dibenzothio...
