Layered double hydroxide-modified polyoxometalate (ZnAl-PW) was prepared and used for the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene. XRD patterns of ZnAl-LDH and PW are still present in ZnAl-PW. The bands of ZnAl-PW in wavenumber 3276, 1637, 1363, 1050, 952, 887, and 667 cm-1. The typical surface of ZnAl-LDH and ZnAl-PW can be observed not smooth in different sized with irregular shapes. The average diameter distribution of ZnAl-LDH and ZnAl-PW is 14 nm and 47 nm, respectively. For dibenzothiophene with 500 ppm, conversion on ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW was 94.71%, 95.88%, and 99.16%, respectively. Conversion of dibenzothiophene in line with the acidity of ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW were 0.399, 1.635, and 3.023 mmol/gram, respectively. The most effective catalyst dosage for the desulfurization of dibenzothiophene on ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW is 0.25 g. The unchanged dibenzothiophene concentration indicates a heterogeneous system. ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW are truly heterogeneous catalysts. After 3 cycles of oxidative desulfurization, the percentage conversion of dibenzothiophene on ZnAl-LDH, PW, and ZnAl-PW were 77.42 %, 65.98%, and 86.38%, respectively.

The successful synthesis and preparation of Zn/Al layered double hydroxide, cellulose, and Zn/Al-cellulose materials were analyzed using XRD, FT-IR, and BET. The diffraction peaks of Zn/Al layered double hydroxide are at 10.3°; 20.3°; 34.8°; and 60.40°, while the diffraction peaks of cellulose are at 15.5°; 22.4°; and 34.5°. Diffraction peaks on Zn/Al layered double hydroxide and cellulose were observed at 3442 cm-1, 1642 cm-1, 1440-1620 cm-1, 1351 cm-1, 1153 cm-1, and 400-800 cm-1. The surface area of the material after the composite increased from 1.968 to 13.615 m2/g. The optimum pH for Zn/Al LDH was pH 4, pH 10 for cellulose, and pH 2 for Zn/Al-cellulose. The isotherm data of Zn/Al LDH and cellulose followed the Freundlich model, while Zn/Al-cellulose followed the Langmuir model. The reuse of adsorbents in the adsorption process can be used up to 3 times.
The adsorbents potential ZnAl-LDH, ZnAl-Hydrochar, and ZnAl-Humic acid were prepared using the coprecipitation method. The adsorbents were characterization by XRD, FTIR, and BET analysis. XRD peaks of ZnAl-LDH at 10.29°, 20.07°, 29.59°, 32.12°, 34.02°, 48.06°, and 60.16°. The FTIR absorption peak was observed at 3400-3500 cm−1, 1600-1700 cm−1, 1381 cm−1, 1000 cm−1, 500-700 cm−1. All adsorbents exhibited N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms type IV classified as a mesoporous structure (pore size= 2-50 nm). The surface areas of composites were higher than LDH and following order: ZnAl-Hydrochar > ZnAl-Humic acid > ZnAl-LDH. The kinetic parameter showed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The maximum adsorption capacity of ZnAl-LDH, ZnAl-Hydrochar, and ZnAl-Humic acid were 48.077 mg/g, 90.090 mg/g, 94.340 mg/g, respectively; with Freundlich isotherm model. Reusability after 5 times of ZnAl-LDH, ZnAl-Hydrochar, and ZnAl-Humic acid in the range 49.81-0.890%, 95.92-9.84%, and 70.02-5.72%, respectively. The adsorbent can be used up to 3 times.
