A novel desulfurization practice based on diesel acidification prior to activated carbon adsorption
( Springer New York LLC , 2015 , Article)Commercial diesel is often rich with organosulfur compounds and a value of 7,100 mgS/kg was recently reported. As confirmed by chromatographic analysis, about 36% of sulfur compounds are originated from dibenzothiophene. ... -
Activation of kaolin with minimum solvent consumption by microwave heating
( Mineralogical Society , 2014 , Article)A kaolin clay was activated with 1.0 M H2SO4 solution at minimum liquid to solid ratio (L/S) using microwave heating. The optimum experimental conditions for activation were L/S ratio 3.0 mL 1 M H2SO4 per gram kaolin, ... -
Characterization and utilization of fly ash of heavy fuel oil generated in power stations
( Elsevier B.V. , 2014 , Article)Unlike coal fly ash, fly ash of heavy fuel oil has received much less attention in the literature. In this work, detailed physicochemical characterization of heavy fuel oil fly ash (FA) is provided. The ash has a carbonaceous ... -
Development of industrially viable geopolymers from treated petroleum fly ash
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)This paper investigates the development of stable geopolymers using petroleum fly ash with high compressive strength and water absorption to promote cleaner production, sustainability, and recycling of waste. The paper ... -
Influence of diesel acidification on dibenzothiophene removal: A new desulfurization practice
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Commercial diesel is often loaded with organosulphur compounds including hard-to-remove dibenzothiophene DBT and other derivatives. Following uncommon and simple procedure, dibenzothiophene was selectively removed upon ... -
Manganese-Loaded Activated Carbon for the Removal of Organosulfur Compounds from High-Sulfur Diesel Fuels
( WILEY-VCH Verlag , 2014 , Article)The adsorptive capacity of activated carbon (AC) is significantly enhanced toward weakly interacting organosulfur compounds (OSC) from sulfur-rich diesel fuel. Sulfur compounds are selectively removed from diesel after ... -
Moisture and temperature dependence of the dielectric properties of pharmaceutical powders
(2013 , Article)The dielectric properties of pharmaceutical powder–(paracetamol, aspirin, lactose, maize starch, adipic acid) solvent (water) mixtures were measured at 2,450 MHz at a range of moisture contents (0–1.0 kg kg−1, dry basis) ... -
Selective removal of dibenzothiophene from commercial diesel using manganese dioxide-modified activated carbon: A kinetic study
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2015 , Article)With a total concentration of 7055 mgS/kgfuel, the content of organosulphur compounds (OSCs) in local diesel is 20 times higher than the regulated value. Analysis revealed that 30% of OSC is originated from dibenzothiophene ...
