Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present the Ni/ZnO nano-sorbent for reactive adsorption desulfurization (RADS) of refinery oil steams. The preparation and modification of nano-sorbent are reviewed. Various characterizations involving in the relation of properties with components, structures and dynamic phase change during RADS, are extensively provided. The mechanisms of desulfurization, sulfur transfer and sulfur adsorption are proposed. The contradictories in literature about active structures and reaction mechanism are discussed and the solutions are suggested. This chapter unfolds the impressive application of RADS of Ni/ZnO nano-sorbent to produce a cleaner gasoline. It also delves into the inadequately engineer areas which require further attention so as to make the RADS process more economic and more efficient. The perspective applications other than gasoline desulfurization are also presented.
