What are the Advantages of Adsorptive Desulfurization?
Adsorptive desulfurization offers several advantages over other desulfurization methods like hydrodesulfurization (HDS): - Lower Operating Temperatures: The process can be carried out at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures, reducing energy consumption. - Selectivity: Adsorbents can be tailored to selectively capture specific sulfur compounds, leading to higher efficiency. - Environmental Benefits: Reduced need for hydrogen and no production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas, which is a toxic by-product of HDS.
