Preparation of Some Mercurated Dowex Resins and Study of Their Industrial Applications For Desulfurization

Authors

Abstract

During this research some chemical modifications especially )mercuration) have been done on Dowex resin.
It is known that the sulfur dioxide gases are the main source of acid rain and air pollution, result from the conversion of fuels containing sulfur compounds in combustion engines. As a result of environmental impact, strict requirements on low sulfur content in fuels are becoming prominent throughout the world.
This study was carried out to remove dibenzothiophene from model light oil (benzene containing DBT, 3080 ppm. sulfur content) by using the mercurated Dowex.The analysis of the resulting treated DBT solution to know the sulfur concentration was obtained by using atomic absorption
The mercurated polymers were identified spectroscopicaly using infrared spectroscopy.
