Nanotech is destined to impact desulfurization in a big way. How long it will take for current research to achieve commercial success is anyone’s guess … but it behooves anyone interested in reaping the benefits to pay attention to developments in the field. The abstract of the article “Chemistry of one-dimensional metallic edge states in MoS2 nanoclusters” provides useful nuggets of insight. For example, a sentence from the abstract states …
“The new chemistry identified in this work has significant implications for an important catalytic reaction, since MoS2 nanoclusters constitute the basis of hydrotreating catalysts used to clean up sulfur-containing molecules from oil products in the hydrodesulfurization process”
The cite for the article is …
