“…21,34,48 4,6-DMDBT was also employed to further evaluate the adsorption performance of the obtained BN mesoporous nanowires at 298 K. As is well-known, owing to its aromaticity and steric hindrance of the two methyl, 4,6-DMDBT was difficult to removed through hydrodesulfurization, oxidative desulfurization, or extractive desulfurization. 49,50 Hence, it is greatly important to remove 4,6-DMDBT. As shown in Figure 10, the BN mesoporous nanowires could also display excellent adsorption performance for 4,6-DMDBT (400 ppm initial sulfur concentration), and the adsorption capacity could reach 33.2 mg S g −1 adsorbent.…”
