Sažetak
The removal of sulfur compounds from petroleum fractions and as such from gasoline fractions, which are blended to form gasoline fuel, is carried out in order to lower the emissions of internal combustion engines. Dibenzothiophene (DBT), which could be found in gasoline, is one of the so called refractory sulfur compounds and is very difficult to remove by means of conventional and widely used hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process. One of the main difficulties is the fact that the hydrogen sulfide, which is formed during the HDS process, inhibits DBT hydrodesulfurization reactions. That is why alternative desulfurization processes are being intensely investigated and one of the most promising is the adsorption. In this work DBT was removed from model gasoline solution (MGS) by adsorption on three different commercial adsorbents. The adsorption experiments were conducted in a batch adsorption apparatus. The experimental data was used to compare the used adsorbents and to carry out kinetic analysis and equilibrium characterization of the adsorption process.
