Abstract
A method for removing contaminants from a gas stream including contacting a gas stream comprising hydrocarbons and sulfur contaminants with a modified nanocomposite adsorbent. Also provided are compositions and processes for forming compositions of a modified nanocomposite adsorbent composition for removing sulfur contaminants from a hydrocarbon stream. Additionally, provided is system for removing sulfur impurities from a gaseous hydrocarbon stream, where the system includes a plurality of adsorbent vessels arranged in series, where the adsorbent vessels include an emulsion of a modified nanocomposite adsorbent composition.
Claims10
A method for removing sulfur contaminants from a gas stream comprising:
- contacting a gas stream comprising hydrocarbons and sulfur contaminants with a modified nanocomposite adsorbent, wherein the modified nanocomposite adsorbent comprises waste bauxite residue doped with zinc oxide nanoparticles,
- wherein the contacting of the gas stream with the modified nanocomposite adsorbent reduces an amount of sulfur contaminants in the gas stream.
