Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for removing sulfur-containing compounds from a fluid. The method involves adding manganese oxide to the fluid; doping the manganese oxide in situ with iron, cobalt, or combinations thereof to give a doped manganese oxide adsorbent; and contacting the fluid with a selected amount of the doped manganese oxide adsorbent and at a selected temperature and pressure sufficient for the doped manganese oxide adsorbent to preferentially adsorb the sulfur-containing compounds in the fluid. The disclosure also relates to a process for preparing a doped manganese oxide adsorbent, and a doped manganese oxide adsorbent prepared by the process. The disclosure further relates to a method for tuning structural properties (e.g., surface area, pore size and pore volume) of a doped manganese oxide adsorbent.

Abstract: A method for oxidizing soot from diesel exhaust gas from a diesel engine. The method involves providing a diesel particulate filter for receiving the diesel exhaust gas; coating a catalyst composition on the diesel particulate filter; and contacting the soot from the diesel exhaust gas with the catalyst coated diesel particulate filter at a temperature sufficient to oxidize the soot to carbon dioxide. The catalyst composition is a doped or undoped manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) material. A diesel exhaust gas treatment system that includes a diesel particulate filter for receiving diesel exhaust gas from a diesel engine and collecting soot; and a catalyst composition coated on the diesel particulate filter. The catalyst composition is a doped or undoped manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2).
