High Contacting Efficience Carrier Structures & Porcesses for Liquid Phase Regenerable Desulfurization of Logistic Fuels

Abstract

A supported silver adsorbent (Ag/Ti02) for sulfur removal from liquid fuels has been developed and characterized. The adsorbent's formulation, preparation procedure, desulfurization conditions and regeneration procedure have established and optimized. In a comparative study, this adsorbent and several other promising adsorbents such as Cu-Y and, Ag/Al203 and PdCI2/Al203 have been tested and evaluated with model fuels and logistic fuel (i.e. JP-5). It is found that Ag/Ti02 demonstrated a high saturation capacity of 15 mg of sulfur/g of adsorbent, and that no special regeneration media or reactivation procedures are required for its regeneration. This high-performance adsorbent enables novel process design for the logistic fuel desulfurization.
