    Abstract:
    In this research, copper(II)-alginate (Cu(II)-A) beads containing polyethyleneterephthalate derived activated carbon (PET-AC) with porous structure were prepared by a feasible cross-linking technology. The composition and structure of the beads were thoroughly analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller adsorption, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray methods. The desulfurization activity of the adsorbent for dibenzothiophene (DBT) in the model oil was investigated. The influence of mass ratio of PET-AC on the features of the prepared Cu(II)-A beads was studied. According to experimental results, higher adsorption capacity was acquired from PET-AC/Cu(II)-A at 4:1 mass ratio due to its high porosity and available Cu(II) adsorption centers. The adsorption isotherms could be correlated by the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity reached up to 62.9 mg g-1. The adsorption data showed better fitting (R2 greater than 0.99) to the pseudo-second-order rate equation. Lewis acid-base and π-π interactions might be the driving force of the DBT adsorption. The adsorbent could be also reused for 4 successive runs with negligible loss in desulfurization capability. All of these features make the PET-AC/Cu(II)-A as a potential adsorbent towards desulfurization from fuels.
