Synergy Effect of Nitrogen and Molybdenum on Activated Carbon Matrix for Selective Adsorptive Desulfurization: Insights into Surface Chemistry Modification
Abstract:This study reports the synthesis of mesoporous metal-modified nitrogen doped activated carbon (AC-N-Mo) from date seeds by ZnCl2 activation and its applicability for selective adsorptive desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT). The AC-N-Mo exhibits higher adsorption capacity for DBT at 100 mg-S/L with the maximum value of 99.7% corresponding to 19.94 mg-S/g at room temperature than the unmodified carbon with 17.96 mg-S/g despite its highest surface area and pore volume of 1027 m2g− 1 and 0.55 cm3g− 1 respect… Show more
