Notes:
Two types of solid adsorbents, activated carbon and zeolite 13X, were used at 80°C to remove sulfur compounds from naphtha solutions. Adsorption isotherms have been determined in a pressure vessel. This investigation indicated that activated carbon is superior to zeolite 13X at such high temperatures. A new formula based on the Langmuir model has been found to fit the experimental data satisfactorily. Comparison of the findings of this study with those of a previous one conducted at ambient temperatures in this department indicates that such treatment generally gives better results at low temperature where almost complete recovery of the sulfur compounds can be performed by using zeolite 13X.
