Abstract:The presence of sulfur-containing compound (e.g. Dibenzothiophene, DBT) in petroleum distillates such as diesel is of great concern due to the environmental problems it poses on the environment. In this study, synthesis and performance evaluation of MCM-41 adsorbent for enhanced removal of DBT from petroleum distillates in batch adsorption mode is reported. MCM-41, employed in this study for adsorptive desulphurization, was successfully synthesized with Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C19H42BrN) and fumed sili… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
