Various adsorbents are used in adsorptive desulfurization, each with its unique properties and advantages. Common adsorbents include: - Activated Carbon: Known for its high surface area and porosity, making it effective in capturing a range of sulfur compounds. - Zeolites: Crystalline aluminosilicates with well-defined pore structures that can selectively adsorb sulfur compounds. - Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Highly porous materials with tunable properties, offering high selectivity and capacity for sulfur compounds. - Metal Oxides: Such as zinc oxide and titanium oxide, which can chemisorb sulfur compounds.
