Abstract

This research examines the removal efficiency of organic chloride (OC) compounds from the naphtha fraction of polluted crude oil (CO) using sintered micro and nano γ-Al2O3 at a consistent temperature of 30 °C. The adsorbents were characterized through BET, SEM-EDS, and XRD analyses. When utilizing micro-adsorbents to eliminate OC components from naphtha fraction samples containing initial contaminant concentrations of 105 and 8.5 mg/L, the maximum removal efficiency reached only 28 % and 56 %, respectively. In contrast, the use of nano-based adsorbents resulted in significantly higher adsorption percentages, exceeding 45 % and 96 % for the same two samples, respectively. Equilibrium investigations revealed that the Freundlich isotherm model yielded a superior match for the adsorption equilibrium data for the nano-adsorbents case, while the Langmuir model accurately characterized the data for the micro-adsorbents. Kinetic data analysis indicated that the adsorption kinetics for nano-adsorbents followed the pseudo-second-order model, while the micro-adsorbents obeyed the intra-particle diffusion mechanism. Overall, these findings suggest that sintered γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) are more effective than microparticles (MPs) for the adsorptive removal of organic chlorides (OCs) from crude oil’s naphtha distillate.

Keywords: adsorptive removal; organic chloride compounds; nano adsorbent; sintered γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles
