  • Method for forming an acid-treated fly ash activated carbon
    Patent number: 9757709
    Abstract: A process for making a modified, mesoporous activated carbon material from waste oil fly ash. The process involves a physicochemical treatment of a raw waste oil fly ash sample, where the sample is initially refluxed in an acid solution, then activated at about 1000° C. and in the presence of carbon dioxide. The activated carbon may be further functionalized with carboxylic and/or amine groups by refluxing the activated carbon in a second acid solution and/or an ammonia solution. The activated carbon, as prepared, has a BET surface area of 30-400 m2/g, a total pore volume of 0.25-0.50 cm3/g and an average pore size of 40-100 ?. A method for removing hydrogen sulfide from natural gas with the modified activated carbon is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2017
    Assignee: King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
    Inventors: Reyad Awwad Shawabkeh, Ibnelwaleed Ali Hussein, Hafiz Muhammad Zaheer Aslam, Nadhir H. Al-Baghli
