Abstract

Synthesis of a new porous cobalt based metal-organic framework, [Co6(oba)6(CH3O)4(O)2]n·3DMF (TMU-11) has been carried out to introduce a new and highly efficient adsorbent of dibenzothiophene (DBT). This compound has been synthesized by solvothermal method using a nonlinear dicarboxylate ligand and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. To study the adsorption properties of the synthesized compound, TMU-11, for DBT removal, various factors, such as amount of adsorbent, contact time and temperature were examined. On the basis of the results, maximum efficiency and reusability in DBT removal occur under the mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, the DBT removal follows the pseudo-second order reaction kinetic. The maximum adsorption value is 825mg/g. The selectivity test of DBT over naphthalene (NA) clearly shows that ?-? interactions between organic linkers of TMU-11 and the aromatic ring of DBT are not responsible for the adsorption desulfurization (ADS) process and the main part of adsorption takes place on unsaturated site around Co centres. Our findings may provide some insight into the preparation of the adsorbent with superior performance in practical applications.

Sulfur

See more Sulfur products. Sulfur (or Sulphur) (atomic symbol: S, atomic number: 16) is a Block P, Group 16, Period 3 element with an atomic radius of 32.066. Sulfur Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of Sulfur's shells is 2, 8, 6 and its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p4. In its elemental form, sulfur has a light yellow appearance. The sulfur atom has a covalent radius of 105 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 180 pm. In nature, sulfur can be found in hot springs, meteorites, volcanoes, and as galena, gypsum, and epsom salts. Sulfur has been known since ancient times but was not accepted as an element until 1777, when Antoine Lavoisier helped to convince the scientific community that it was an element and not a compound.

Cobalt

Cobalt Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of cobalt's shells is 2, 8, 15, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar]3d7 4s2. The cobalt atom has a radius of 125 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 192 pm. Cobalt was first discovered by George Brandt in 1732. In its elemental form, cobalt has a lustrous gray appearance. Cobalt is found in cobaltite, erythrite, glaucodot and skutterudite ores. Elemental CobaltCobalt produces brilliant blue pigments which have been used since ancient times to color paint and glass. Cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal and is used primarily in the production of magnetic and high-strength superalloys. Co-60, a commercially important radioisotope, is useful as a radioactive tracer and gamma ray source. The origin of the word Cobalt comes from the German word "Kobalt" or "Kobold," which translates as "goblin," "elf" or "evil spirit.
