Sodium montmorillonite was intercalated with the Keggin ion (hydroxyaluminum polycation) and calcined
at 400 °C. Then, doping with Fe3+, Cu2+, or Zn2+ was carried out. On the obtained samples, H2S breakthrough
capacity tests were carried out under wet conditions. Doping with metals significantly improved the capacity
of adsorbents, despite a noticeable decrease in microporosity. The sample doped with copper showed the best
performance as a hydrogen sulfide adsorbent. The reason for this is likely the affinity of the metal to bind
hydrogen sulfide, the degree of metal dispersion, and the accessibility of small pores.
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.
