Competitive adsorption removal of sulphur compounds in gasoline using X zeolite
Abstract
The paper presents the results of sulphur removal from gasoline in a ternary system, i.e. benzene, 3 Methylthiophene (3-MT)/Benzothiophene (BT) and isooctane. These results indicate that the presence of aromatic compounds strongly reduces the efficiency of the removal of sulphur in gasoline. Moreover, it is found that the exchanged zeolite exhibits higher activity than the original and the type of sulphur containing compound plays an important role in the adsorption of sulphur in gasoline. A discussion on the obtained results is also presented.
