Selective adsorption has demonstrated minimal influence on the quality of aromatics-containing fuels. Considering the exposed surface of fibers for mass transfer, metallic silver was supported on adsorbent cotton fibers via an aqueous reduction dehydration method with virtues such as extra low silver loading (0.2 wt %), facile preparation, low energy consumption, and no toxic emissions. On the basis of adsorption tests, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermal analysis (DTA) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ESEM-EDX), it is confirmed that the active component of adsorption is Ag-0 instead of Ag+. It is attributed to the distinct polarities of thiophene octane (model oil) and AgNO3. Model oil (500 ppmw sulfur) was pressed into an adsorption column without solvent for degassing. Temperature and retention time dependencies on capacity were investigated below 60 degrees C and at flow rates of 0.2 and 0.3 mL/min. The adsorption is substantially coordinative reaction. Higher capacities were determined at 50 degrees C in 2 h with an average sulfur removal of 27.6%, and sulfur removal declined at temperatures above 60 degrees C.
