nice one bro,i also worked on absorptive desulphurization using silver nanoparticles assisted adsorbents,dey performed better than ur adsorbents,but would not be able to go into specifics because am still waiting for it to be published.

wow nice one. That's you impregnated your adsorbents with silver nano-particles? Yes yours will yield better results.

But, that means the laboratory you're working with has the means and equipment to imbibe nanotechnology in desulphurization. That's a plus cause standard and up to date laboratories are hard to find

...but how cost effective is yours compared to the other guys?we definitely have bright minds around us but....when our highest offices are held by nepa certificate holders, 3rd class patch-patch graduates and other thugs we realy wont move forward much...kudos to you all, wish u the best with your studies

Hmmm...... 150 cap is too high..... but then... who cares about the environment?...as we breed cancer and other related health issues as we breathe in the polluted air. Let's hope this is stage 1 and by next year the cap is reduced.

it is cost efficient wen compared to others,plus d nanoparticles used are environmental friendly.nanoscience is the way forward for scientific breakthrough,really excited for d future.

Really? the only materials I sourced around were coconut & palm kernel shells and cow bones. With these, I prepared six different activated carbons.

The desulphurization process plus checking the sulphur content in the diesel oil after each experimental run were the major costs incurred.

kunlesmiles:
sweet crude still contains sulphur compounds,jst dat dey ar present in small quantities,organic sulphur compounds are d most difficult to remove,cos they av low reactivities with the catalyst used in hydrodesulphurization,

Thanks for that, just see the way industrial chemist and chemical engineers are making noise here that sweet oil contains no sulphur forgetting that in chemistry it is impossible to rule out the presence of an element completely because sometimes they also appear in trace.

Chemists have taken over this thread to show themselves but if anything related to quantum chemistry surfaces most of una go hide sha. Happy easter great chemist together we recreate nature.

yea you can say that again....nigeria would get it right someday hopefully

Rilwan20:


Perhaps if you are refining your petroleum in Nigerian there won't be any chance of mixing. I doubt if we are even using our own oil.

yea you made a valid point. Nigeria is screwed.lol

Nice move...
