Abstract

For the past few decades, adsorption techniques are one of the methods used successfully in removing sulfur components. In the present work, Eucalyptus tree branches (Eu-GAC) have been studied by using a Batch Adsorption vessel to measure their capability for adsorption. The effect of contact time and concentration in enhancing the adsorption process has been investigated. The results showed that the Eu-GAC agent as adsorbent appears more efficient to eliminate Dibenzothiophene (DBT,98%) compare to 4, 6-di methyl dibenzothiophene (4, 6-DMDBT,97%).
