Abstract

The desulfurization of thiophene and heavy metals control have received widespread attention due to the environmental issues, but their interaction mechanism is unclear. In this work, the role of CaO in thiophene desulfurization and heavy metals control was investigated. The CS bond cleavage is the rate-determining step for thiophene desulfurization with the energy barrier of 218.5 kJ/mol on the CaO surface, and the loading of heavy metal clusters Mn₄, Ni₄, and Cu₄ on the CaO(001) surface exhibit high desulfurization activity with energy barriers of 37.2, 44.2 and 112.1 kJ/mol at 973 K. Moreover, the electronic property analysis indicates that the S atom formed by thiophene desulfurization as the active center promotes heavy metals control comparing to the CaO surface. Furthermore, the mutual promotion effect between thiophene desulfurization and heavy metals control was elucidated. The present study broadens the understanding of treating thiophene and heavy metal pollutants in coal and sludge.

期刊介绍： Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications. Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
