The microwave-assisted adsorptive desulfurization of model fuel (thiophene in n-heptane) was investigated using a synthesized rare earth metal-doped zeolite Y (RE Y). Crystallinity of the synthesized zeolite was 89.5%, the silicon/aluminium (Si/Al) molar ratio was 5.2, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area was 980.9 m2/g, and the pore volum...

... Zeolite Association (Harry, 2001;Ginter et al. 1992). This process involved preparation of seed and feedstock gels, and a general gel using sodium hydroxide, sodium aluminate, aluminium hydroxide, and distilled water. This general gel was crystallized through a template-free, low temperature crystallization method inside a polypropylene bottle (Fig. ...

Desulfurization of a simulated diesel fuel by different adsorbents was studied in a fixed-bed adsorption process operated at ambient temperature and pressure. Three different adsorption beds were used, commercial activated carbon, Cu-Y zeolite, and layered bed of 15wt% activated carbon followed by Cu-Y zeolite.Initially Y-zeolite was prepared from...
