Abstract:Nickel oxide, which acts as an intermediate Lewis acid, was loaded onto activated carbon (AC) to enhance the adsorption selectivity of AC in the desulfurization of model diesel. The total sulfur adsorption capacity increased from 2.46 to 4.42 mg-S•g adsorbent −1 and the total sulfur removal increased from 46.8 to 84.5% using the AC and Ni (10%) O/ AC adsorbents, respectively. Multicomponent isothermal modeling showed that the incorporation of NiO onto AC significantly improved the synergistic interactions betw… Show more
