摘要：Low-cost activated carbon (KAC) was functionalized by HNO3, (NH4)(2)S2O8 and air oxidation, respectively, to remove dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model fuel. The changes in physical and chemical properties of these activated carbons were characterized by thermal analysis, elemental analysis, nitrogen adsorption apparatus, Raman spectra, scanning electron microscope and Boehm's titration method. HNO3 and (NH4)(2)S2O8 oxidation result in a significant decrease in pore structure, while air oxidation only causes slight pore reduction due to the re-activation by O-2. The oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs) increase markedly after oxidative modification, in which (NH4)(2)S2O8 oxidation is considered as the most efficient method with respect to the introduction of OFGs. HNO3 and (NH4)(2)S2O8 oxidation are more selective to generate carboxyls and lactones, whereas air oxidation creates more phenols, carbonyls and ethers. The DBT adsorption capacity follows the order: NAC (HNO3-oxidized KAC) > OAC (air-oxidized KAC) > KAC > SAC ((NH4)(2)S2O8-oxidized KAC), implying the introduction of OFGs is beneficial for the DBT adsorption process, especially for selectivity, but excessive OFGs have a negative effect on the removal of DBT. Thus, to achieve high DBT adsorption performance, there should be a trade-off between the micropore volume and the OFGs amount. [GRAPHICS] .
