Adsorptive desulphurization of model oil by Ag nanoparticles-modified activated carbon prepared from brewer’s spent grains.
This study reports removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model oil (DBT dissolved in n -heptane) by silver nanoparticles modified activated carbon prepared from brewer’s spent grains using wet impregnation (WI) method. The removal efficiency follows the order AgNPscw/AC
> AgNPskp/AC
> ACB. The AgNPskp/AC and AgNPscw/AC exhibit higher adsorption capacities for DBT with maximum values of...
