Adsorbed in what it's doing: Well‐designed mesoporous silica adsorbents (see scheme) can contribute to the production of clean fuels through preferential adsorption of nitrogen‐ and sulfur‐containing compounds from light gas oil and heavy catalytic naphtha in refinery streams. The adsorbent with Zr ions shows a higher adsorption capacity and affinity for sulfur compounds than its non‐zirconia‐containing counterpart.
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.
