Selective Removal of N‐Heterocyclic Aromatic Contaminants from Fuels by Lewis Acidic Metal–Organic Frameworks

Abstract: Bring in the cleaner! Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are able to separate nitrogen and sulfur contaminants from fuel, which may lead to the production of cleaner fuels (see picture; ppmw=parts per million by weight). The separation ability is shown to originate from the Lewis acidity of the metal sites in the MOFs.

“…MOFs are receiving much attentions because of their high porosity, with their pore size/shape being controllable over both microporous and mesoporous regions. The physiochemical properties of MOF materials can be turned with easy modifications or functionalization, which ultimately increases their usability in various applications, such as adsorption [20][21][22] separation [23] and catalysis [24] For example MOFs have recently been successfully used for fuel purification via adsorptive desulfurization [25][26][27] or denitrogenation [28][29][30]. MOFs have also been used for the aqueous-phase adsorption of different pollutants in water, such as heavy metals [31] phosphate [32] organics dyes [33][34][35][36] organic arsenic acids [37,38] bisphenol-A [39,40] and PPCPs (naproxen and clofibric acid) ) [41][42][43] from water.…”

“…13 Crude oil naturally contains sulfur compounds, which are undesirable since they cause SO x exhaust gases. Currently, fuel feeds contain as low as 10 ppmw S and it can be expected that these levels are to be lowered further.…”

“…28,29 They observed that MOFs with high porosity absorbed higher concentrations of nitrogen containing compounds (NCCs). [29][30][31] A study reported by Nuzhdin et al 29 indicated that a total of 1.3 mmol of nitrogen containing compounds (NCCs) was removed by 1 g of MIL-101(Cr). Results obtained with the use of molecularly imprinted nanobers in this study could be said to be comparable with the results reported by Nuzhdin et al 29 and some others reported in the literature.…”
