Abstract
The present study focuses on using the adsorption character of the layered double hydroxide (LDH) for removal of aromatics species because of its simple production, suitable for ecology, cost less and easy to modify by intercalation organic molecules which cause change from hydrophilic to hydrophobic character and help in increase the removal percentage of mono- and di- aromatics. In this work, nanolayered structures (AlZn NLS) were prepared and characterized by different techniques but cannot remove aromatics. After intercalation by organic molecules (4-aminobenzoic acid, Salicylic acid, Adipic acid and n-capric acid in order), series of AlZn nanohybrids were prepared and showed significant removal of mono- and di-aromatics. The prepared nanohybrids based on n-capric acid showed significant results for removal of both mono-aromatics (33.5%) and di-aromatics (28.6%). The current study concluded that the nanolayered structures of AlZn became effective for removal aromatic species because of the expansion of the interlayered spacing of nanolayers and the increase of hydrophobic character.
期刊介绍:
Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is addressed to the fields of crude oil, natural gas, energy and related subjects. Its objective is to serve as a forum for research and development covering the following areas: • Sedimentation and petroleum exploration. • Production. • Analysis and testing. • Chemistry and technology of petroleum and natural gas. • Refining and processing. • Catalysis. • Applications and petrochemicals. It also publishes original research papers and reviews in areas relating to synthetic fuels and lubricants - pollution - corrosion - alternate sources of energy - gasification, liquefaction and geology of coal - tar sands and oil shale - biomass as a source of renewable energy. To meet with these requirements the Egyptian Journal of Petroleum welcomes manuscripts and review papers reporting on the state-of-the-art in the aforementioned topics. The Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is also willing to publish the proceedings of petroleum and energy related conferences in a single volume form.
